Excerpt from Our French Allies in the Revolution: And Other Addresses The early history of a people is always its heroic period. In it material is always to be found upon which patriotism and loyalty best flourish. It is not so much a great accumulation of historical facts that we need as it is the vivid presentation of almost any incidents which will interest us in and acquaint us with the indomitable spirit of '76. The writer, himself an enthusiastic and accurate student of the heroic period in American history, is entitled to our sincere and appreciative gratitude for refreshing our memories in so attractive a way, as do the following monograms, of the great deeds and the greater men that underlie the splendid achievements of these United States. As Secretary of the New Jersey Society of the Sons of the Revolution and with a picturesque style in composition he has every equipment for selecting and publishing salient bits of the Revolutionary days well adapted to teach us and our children of that great love of human liberty which has made America, the world over, a synonym for human progress.

By De B. Randolph Keim." The publication of that work being delayed, it was decided to print this list separately.

The Revolutionary War historian provides “a comprehensive and accessible guide” to the vital influence France had on America’s path to independence (Publishers Weekly). French support for United States independence was both vital and varied, ranging from ideological inspiration to financial and military support. In this study, historian Norman Desmarais offers an in-depth analysis of this crucial relationship, exploring whether America could have won its independence without its first ally. Demarais begins with the contributions of French Enlightenment thinkers who provided the intellectual frameworks for the American and French revolutions. He then covers the many forms of aid provided by France during the Revolutionary War, including the contributions of individual French officers and troops, as well as covert aid provided before the war began. France also provided naval assistance, particularly to the American privateers who harassed British shipping. Detailed accounts drawn from ships’ logs, court and auction records, newspapers, letters, diaries, journals, and pension applications. In a more sweeping analysis, Desmarais explores the international nature of a war which some consider the first world war. When France and Spain entered the conflict, they fought the Crown forces in their respective areas of economic interest. In addition to the engagements in the Atlantic Ocean, along the American and European coasts and in the West Indies, there are accounts of action in India and the East Indies, South America and Africa.
