Description:

If you collect antique Revolutionary War books, you probably recognize Benson Lossing\'s famous two-volume illustrated history as one of the most desirable titles in the field. It not only contains a thorough historical account of the Revolutionary War in more than 1500 pages of detailed text, but in terms of illustrations -- both in quantity and quality -- it remains unparalleled to this day.

Benson Lossing was one of the great American historians of the nineteenth century and the author of many books on our nation\'s history. His two-volume PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OF THE REVOLUTION is his most enduring and celebrated work. It is a full and thorough history of the Revolutionary War, with events arranged in chronological order.

What makes Lossing’s work so unique is that he refused to simply regurgitate the work of previous historians. Instead, he made a personal journey of thousands of miles, much of it on foot or horseback, to visit the actual sites of the Revolutionary War and sketch them as he found them, virtually unchanged since the days of the War but on the brink of being forever lost to progress and modernization. He was the first and only historian to undertake such a mission. “Other men, far more competent than myself to use the pen and pencil, appeared indisposed to go out into the apparently shorn and unfruitful field upon which I looked with such covetous delight,” Lossing writes.

In the course of his epic journey, he spoke to the inhabitants of each locality, some of whom were alive during the War, and collected their stories, or stories that had been passed down to them by parents who had fought in the war. If not for Lossing, these gems of history would never have been recorded.

He states in his Preface:

To collect the pictorial and other materials for this work, I traveled more than eight thousand miles in the Old Thirteen States and Canada, and visited every important place made memorable by the events of the war’ yet, in all that long and devious journey, through cities and villages, amid mountains and vast pine forests, along rivers and over fertile plantations, from New England to Georgia, with no passport to the confidence, no claim to the regard of those from whom information was sought, except such as the object of my errand afforded, and communing with men of every social and intellectual grade, I never experienced an unkind word or cold repulsion of manner. On the contrary, politeness always greeted my first salutation, and, when the object of my visit was announced, hospitality and friendly services were freely bestowed. Every where the memorials of our Revolution are cherished with devotional earnestness, and a feeling of reverence for these things abounds …

Neither labor nor care has been spared in the collection of materials, and in endeavors to produce a work as free from grave errors as possible … and if the work is not more accurate than its predecessors, it is believed to be equally so with the most reliable.

In the pictorial department, special care has been observed to make faithful delineations of fact. If a relic of the Revolution was not susceptible of picturesque effect in a drawing, without a departure from the truth, it has been left in its plainness, for my chief object was to illustrate the subject, not merely to embellish the book. I have endeavored to present the features of things as I found them, whether homely or charming, and have sought to delineate all that fell in my way worthy of preservation. To do this, it was necessary to make the engravings numerous, and no larger than perspicuity demanded, else the work would be filled with pictures to the exclusion of essential reading matter.

The plans of military movements have been drawn chiefly from British sources, for very few were made by the engineers in the Continental service. These appear to be generally pretty correct, so far as they represent the immediate movements of the armies in actual conflict; but the general topographical knowledge possessed by those engineers, was quite defective. I have endeavoured to detect and correct their inaccuracies, either in the drawings or in the illustrative descriptions.

In order to give you the most accurate description of this rare and valuable set of books, I have provided some helpful details below. The books have no Table of Contents, per se, as they are a chronological history of the war, from start to finish. However, for the benefit of buyers who are historians, genealogists, etc. -- and who routinely use books like this for specific research -- I have prepared a detailed summary of the hundreds of illustrations in these two volumes. You can even see some of these historic images for yourself at the bottom of this page.

All of this is provided to help you make an informed decision when offerding. I hope you\'ll take a few moments to have a look.
