Daniel Morgan (1736 - 1802) probably born in Hunterdon County, N.J. The son of an ironmaster who had settled in the Shenandoah Valley, Va., he had served with the British forces in the French and Indian War and against Pontiac\'s rebellion (1763--64). He joined the Revolutionary forces on the outbreak of war and fought at Quebec in December 1775, where he was captured. Exchanged in 1776, he led a crack regiment of sharpshooters that played an important role in the victory at Saratoga (1777). He then served under George Washington in Pennsylvania. After briefly resigning (1779--80) in dissatisfaction over his lack of promotion, he rejoined the army to command troops in western North Carolina; on January 17, 1781, a force under his command defeated the British at Cowpens, S.C., in one of the war\'s decisive battles. In 1794, commanding Virginia militia, Morgan helped suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives (Fed., Va.; 1797--99).

William Moultrie (1730 - 1805) was born in Charleston, S.C. A soldier, he directed military strategy in South Carolina during the American Revolution, defending Charleston in 1776. Becoming a brigadier general, he defeated the British at Beaufort in 1779, then was taken prisoner of war after the fall of Charleston in 1780. As South Carolina\'s governor (1785--87, 1792--94), he reorganized the militia, reestablished state credit, and improved the waterways.

Nathanael Greene (1742 - 1786) born in Warwick, R.I. Raised a Quaker, he was expelled by the Society of Friends for his preoccupation with military matters. His militia experience, however, served his country well at the outbreak of the American Revolution; as a brigadier general, he fought at Trenton, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth. Assigned to command Continental forces in South Carolina in October 1780, Greene fought a series of battles that forced the depleted British to withdraw into their fortifications at Yorktown, Va. After the war, he retired to an estate near Savannah, Ga.

Benjamin Lincoln (1733 - 1810) was born in Hingham, Mass. A farmer\'s son, modestly educated, he took an early interest in militia and public affairs, serving in the Massachusetts legislature (1772--73) and as secretary of the Provincial Congress (1775). In 1777, as a major general of continental forces, he operated effectively on the flank of the British army in upstate New York, contributing to the American victory at Saratoga. He did not, however, prove a success in a senior independent command. Leading Washington\'s southern forces, he withdrew his army into Charleston, S.C., where, besieged, he surrendered in May 1779. Exchanged later in the year, Lincoln fought at Yorktown (1781), served a term as war secretary (1781--83), and led militia forces against Daniel Shays\'s rebels (1787). He was lieutenant governor of Massachusetts (1788) and collector of the port of Boston (1789--1809).

Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe (1726 - 1799) born in London, England, UK, the brother of William Howe. He entered the navy at 13, and distinguished himself in the Seven Years\' War (1756--63). He became a Lord of the Admiralty (1763), Treasurer of the Navy (1765), First Lord of the Admiralty (1783), viscount (1782), and earl (1788). In 1776 he was made commander of the British fleet during the American War of Independence. In 1778 he defended the American coast against a superior French force, and in the French Revolutionary Wars defeated the French at \"the Glorious First of June\' (1794).

Please note: the terms used in our sales for engraving, etching, lithograph, plate, photogravure etc. are ALL prints on paper, and NOT blocks of steel or wood or any other material. \"ENGRAVINGS\", the term commonly used for these paper prints, were the most common method in the 1700s and 1800s for illustrating old books, and these paper prints or \"engravings\" were created by the intaglio process of etching the negative of the image into a block of steel, copper, wood etc, and then when inked and pressed onto paper, a print image was created. These prints or engravings were usually inserted into books, although many were also printed and issued as loose stand alone lithographs. They often had a tissue guard or onion skin frontis to protect them from transferring their ink to the opposite page and were usually on much thicker quality woven rag stock paper than the regular prints. So this sale is for an antique paper print(s), probably from an old book, of very high quality and usually on very thick rag stock paper.
