On that day, twenty-five-year-old McCrea, an unremarkable person preparing for an impending marriage, was assaulted, scalped, and killed by a group of Native Americans in the employ of British general John Burgoyne. Though the murder was but one of many civilian deaths in a fierce war zone, McCrea's killing had far-reaching consequences for each of the three major parties involved in the Northern Campaign of 1777. In America, she became the great \u003ci\u003ecause célèbre\u003c\/i\u003e of the Revolution, the sympathetic female victim of the war symbolizing the righteousness of The Cause. In Britain, she was a human-rights tragedy that tarnished the polished surface of British honor and galvanized Whig politicians who shouted out her name in Parliament as an example of how low the nation had fallen. For Native peoples, recruited by both the British and the Americans, and caught in the middle of a war staged on ancestral grounds, McCrea's killing was the opening salvo in a vicious chain of bloody retribution that led to the disintegration of the venerable Iroquois Confederacy and the obliteration of Native homelands. After the war, the nightmarish image of a young Jane McCrea slaughtered on the New York frontier would obsess white Americans who came to fear Native peoples as irredeemable savages. Her murder would help justify the expulsion of Indigenous tribes and open the doors for an expansionary United States that was fully intent on transforming the American continent into its own image. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Killing of Jane McCrea: An American Tragedy on the Revolutionary Frontier\u003c\/i\u003e by distinguished historian Paul Staiti undertakes for the first time a comprehensive investigation into McCrea's life, death, and especially her long and strange afterlife. Using both visual arts and written records, the author reassembles the scattered fragments to illuminate a historical terrain long since shrouded in misinformation, mired in controversy, and relegated to mythology. Coming into view is a major portrait of the persons, cultures, actions, and motives that fatally converged on that hot July morning in 1777.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1594164460\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781594164460\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Staiti, Paul, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Westholme Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Westholme Publishing","offers":[{"title":"HardCover (Oct 2025)","offer_id":45656972034245,"sku":"9781594164460","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781594164460.jpg?v=1768886002"},{"product_id":"the-declaration-of-independence-and-the-constitution-of-the-united-states","title":"The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States","description":"\u003cb\u003eTogether in one book, the two most important documents in United States history: the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, along with the Bill of Rights and successive constitutional amendments. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith an introduction by Pauline Maier, a renowned scholar of the American Revolution.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Declaration of Independence was the promise of a representative government; the Constitution was the fulfillment of that promise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress issued a unanimous declaration: the thirteen North American colonies would be the thirteen United States of America, free and independent of Great Britain.

Passed in anticipation of an impending war with France, the three alien laws--the Naturalization Act, the Alien Friends Act, and the Alien Enemies Act--extended the waiting period for naturalization from five years to fourteen and authorized the detention and expulsion of noncitizens, while the Sedition Act placed a federal ban on the publication of any antigovernment writings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObjections were passionate and swift.

Yet nearly all those efforts have failed. Although nearly twelve thousand amendments have been introduced in Congress since 1789, and thousands more have been proposed outside its doors, only twenty-seven have ever been ratified.

The framers never intended for the Constitution to be preserved, like a butterfly, under glass, Lepore argues, but expected that future generations would be forever tinkering with it, hoping to mend America by amending its Constitution through an orderly deliberative and democratic process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lepore's remarkable history seeks, too, to rekindle a sense of constitutional possibility.

The author of the Declaration of Independence was both a gifted wordsmith and a bundle of nerves. His superior knowledge of the human heart is captured in the impassioned appeal he brought to the Declaration. But as a champion of the common man who lived a life of privilege on a mountaintop plantation of his own design, he has eluded biographers who have sought to make sense of his inner life. In \u003ci\u003eBeing Thomas Jefferson\u003c\/i\u003e, acclaimed Jefferson scholar Andrew Burstein peels away layers of obfuscation, taking us past the veneer of the animated letter-writer to describe a confused lover and a misguided humanist, too timid to embrace antislavery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJefferson was a soft-spoken man who recoiled from direct conflict, yet a master puppeteer in politics.

So, what did it\u003ci\u003e feel like\u003c\/i\u003e to be Thomas Jefferson? Burstein explains the decision to take as his mistress Sally Hemings, the enslaved half-sister of his late wife, who bore him six children, none of whom he acknowledged. Presenting a society that encouraged separation between public and private, appearance and essence, Burstein paints a dramatic picture of early American culture and brings us closer to Jefferson's life and thought than ever before.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1639737685\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781639737680\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Burstein, Andrew, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"HardCover (Jan 2026)","offer_id":45659233255621,"sku":"9781639737680","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781639737680.jpg?v=1768907223"},{"product_id":"abigail-adams-a-life","title":"Abigail Adams: A Life","description":"\u003cb\u003eWinner of the Bancroft Prize\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e, Editor's Choice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAmerican Heritage, Best of 2009\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn this vivid new biography of Abigail Adams, the most illustrious woman of the founding era, Bancroft Award-winning historian Woody Holton offers a sweeping reinterpretation of Adams's life story and of women's roles in the creation of the republic.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing previously overlooked documents from numerous archives, Abigail Adams shows that the wife of the second president of the United States was far more charismatic and influential than historians have realized.

The victors of Kings Mountain were South Carolina, Virginia, and North Carolina Backcountry volunteers (including men from today's Tennessee) of a ghost army that suddenly materialized practically out of thin air from both sides of the Appalachian Mountains on its own and without authorization from the Continental Congress or Continental officers. To defend their farms and families and the land they loved, on October 7, 1780, this ad hoc force of Backcountry volunteers from remote settlements across the frontier suddenly descended upon a well-trained and well-equipped force of more than one thousand Royal Provincial and Loyalist troops, who defiantly made their last stand on the summit of Kings Mountain, after having been caught by surprise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e During one of the hardest fought and bloodiest battles of the American Revolution, this one-sided (the entire enemy force--the vital left wing of Lord Charles Cornwallis' Army--was killed, wounded, and captured) patriot victory at Kings Mountain was a major turning point of not only the war in the South, but also of the American Revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ironically, no battle of the American Revolution more forcefully demonstrated the lethal effectiveness of Southern militia and the future surreal horrors of America's first civil war. This decisive battle in northwest South Carolina was fought between fellow Americans, including not only neighbors but also relatives, even fathers and sons, nearly three-quarters of a century before the Battles of First Manassas, Antietam, and Gettysburg, when young Americans once again slaughtered each other for what they believed was right. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When it appeared at the time that the war in South Carolina had been lost to the British, the patriots of Kings Mountain rose splendidly to the challenge to win an amazing success that best personified the essence and spirit of the revolution, which the victors kept alive during one of the darkest periods of the American Revolution. Most importantly, the dramatic patriot victory at Kings Mountain on October 7, 1781 helped to set the stage and pave the way for the surrender of Cornwallis' Army at Yorktown only a year later, which was an event that all but ended the war and ensured the independence of a new nation.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 151076643X\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781510766433\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Tucker, Phillip Thomas, N\/A, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Skyhorse Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"HardCover (Jan 2026)","offer_id":45659919384773,"sku":"9781510766433","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781510766433.jpg?v=1768915636"},{"product_id":"the-drillmaster-of-valley-forge-the-baron-de-steuben-and-the-making-of-the-american-army","title":"The Drillmaster of Valley Forge: The Baron de Steuben and the Making of the American Army","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"A terrific biography....The dramatic story of how the American army that beat the British was forged has never been better told than in this remarkable book.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Doris Kearns Goodwin, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/em\u003ebestselling author of \u003cem\u003eTeam of Rivals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe true story of the Baron de Steuben and the making of the American Army, \u003cem\u003eThe Drillmaster of Valley Forge \u003c\/em\u003eis the first biography in half a century of the immigrant Prussian soldier who molded George Washington's ragged, demoralized troops into the fighting force that eventually triumphed in America's War of Independence.

Chernow's biography gives Hamilton his due and sets the record straight, deftly illustrating that the political and economic greatness of today's America is the result of Hamilton's countless sacrifices to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. \"To repudiate his legacy,\" Chernow writes, \"is, in many ways, to repudiate the modern world.\" Chernow here recounts Hamilton's turbulent life: an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, he came out of nowhere to take America by storm, rising to become George Washington's aide-de-camp in the Continental Army, coauthoring The Federalist Papers, founding the Bank of New York, leading the Federalist Party, and becoming the first Treasury Secretary of the United States.Historians have long told the story of America's birth as the triumph of Jefferson's democratic ideals over the aristocratic intentions of Hamilton. Chernow presents an entirely different man, whose legendary ambitions were motivated not merely by self-interest but by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build the foundations of American prosperity and power. His is a Hamilton far more human than we've encountered before--from his shame about his birth to his fiery aspirations, from his intimate relationships with childhood friends to his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Monroe, and Burr, and from his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds to his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza.

It opened the Southern frontier and wilderness east of the Appalachian Mountains to America's first settlers, and later served as the gateway for the exploration of the American West. In the mid-1700s, waves of European colonists in search of land for new homes left Pennsylvania to settle in the colonial backcountry of Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas. More than one hundred thousand settlers made the arduous trek, those who would become the foundational generations of the world's first true immigrant nation. In their newly formed village squares, democracy took root and bloomed. During the Revolutionary War, the road served as the key supply line to the American resistance in the western areas of the colonies, especially in the South. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on years of fieldwork and scholarship by an army of archeologists, academics, archivists, preservationists, and passionate history lovers, James Dodson sets out to follow the road's original path from Philadelphia to Georgia. On his journey, he crosses six contiguous states and some of the most historic and hallowed landscapes of eastern America, touching many of the nation's most sacred battlefields and burying grounds. Due to its strategic importance, military engagements were staged along the Great Wagon Road throughout North America's three major wars, including the early days of the bloody French and Indian conflict and pivotal Revolutionary War encounters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn time, the Great Wagon Road became America's first technology highway, as growing roadside villages and towns and cities became, in effect, the first incubators of America's early Industrial age. The people and ideas that traveled down the road shaped the character of the fledgling nation and helped define who we are today. Dodson's ancestors on both sides took the Great Wagon Road to Maryland and North Carolina, respectively, giving him a personal stake in uncovering the road's buried legacy.
