"چه! ده هزار دهقان، پنج هزار سرباز کینگ را خاموش نگه میدارند!" سرلشکر بورگوین به کاپیتان یکی از قایقهای بسته در خارج از بندر بوستون چنین گفت. همانطور که او و ژنرال هاو و کلینتون با نیروهای کمکی از انگلستان برای سرکوب شورش وارد شدند
برای چندین درگیری، بریتانیاییها نمیتوانستند باور کنند که این مستعمرات میتوانند تهدید بزرگی برای افراد عادی پادشاه باشند.
به قول مردانی که در نبردهای اصلی و جزئی آن جنگ طولانی شرکت کردند، معجزه پیروزی نهایی به تدریج آشکار می شود. این یک داستان باشکوه است، زیرا پذیرش مشتاقانه سختیها توسط یک شبه نظامی کاملاً داوطلب را نشان میدهد که برای هدفی که میدانستند عادلانه میجنگند. کمبود مواد ارتش اصلی آن روز، که بارها مجبور به جستجوی علوفه برای غذای خود بودند. آنها بسیار فراتر از زمان قراردادهای سربازی خود در میدان ماندند زیرا به رهبران خود و هدف آزادی اعتقاد داشتند.
از کبک تا سنت آگوستین - بیش از هزار و پانصد مایل - جنگ تقریباً تمام سیزده مستعمره را به یک شکل تحت تأثیر قرار داد. ما انتخاب کردیم که یک متخصص آبرنگ را برای نقاشی روی صحنه بفرستیم تا ظاهر فیزیکی هر مکان را به تصویر بکشیم و آن را امروز به شکلی که ممکن است دویست سال پیش ظاهر شده است تفسیر کنیم.
روپرت فورنو - گزارشگر، مورخ. بیوگراف - نویسنده بیش از بیست و پنج قلاب، از جمله جنگ Zu1u، تهاجم 1066، و نبرد ساراتوگا است. تحقیقات او را بی عیب و نقص و نوشته او را با بهترین نویسندگان تاریخ مقایسه می کنند.
تحقیق او برای تاریخچه تصویری انقلاب آمریکا 1 در یک دوره سه ساله، هم در ایالات متحده و هم در بریتانیای کبیر انجام شد. او با نگاه خبرنگاری به مطالب مرتبط و نگاه مورخ به چشمانداز، روایات شخصی بیشماری را جستجو و مطالعه کرد که در قالب مجلات، خاطرات و نامهها حفظ شده است. کمتر کسی چشم خواننده عام را دیده است. نتیجه یک داستان منحصر به فرد از تولد ایالات متحده آمریکا است که سرشار از درام و علاقه انسانی است، از نظر جزئیات دقیق است و برای خواننده به راحتی قابل تجسم است.
روپرت فورنو یک انگلیسی است که در حومه زیبای همپشایر زندگی می کند.
کی اسمیت، که آبرنگهایش به این اثر درخشندگی میبخشد، هنرمند شیکاگوی متخصص در هنرهای زیبا، گرافیک تبلیغاتی و تصویرسازی کتاب است. چهل و سه نقاشی و طرح رنگی او که در این جلد بازتولید شده است، به وضوح روح و محیط بسیاری از مکانهای تاریخی مهم دوره انقلاب را که اکنون زیارتگاههای ملی هستند، به تصویر میکشد.
ما بر این باوریم که هنرمند با پل زدن دویست سال، حسی از تاریخ را به او منتقل کرده است - لمسی که هیچ عکاسی، هر چقدر هم حساس باشد، نمی تواند انجام دهد. از استیصال دره فورج تا شادی یورکتاون، این نقاشیها کمک میکنند تا بیننده را در صحنه عمل در این تاریخ هیجانانگیز شاهدان عینی از جنگ قرار دهد.
کی اسمیت متولد واندالیا، ایلینوی، بومی واقعی غرب میانه است. او فردیت را در سبک ارائه می دهد که به این اثر ابعاد و شخصیت می بخشد. او که یکی از اعضای کارگر گروه هنرمندان برجسته شیکاگو است، در مؤسسه هنری شیکاگو تحصیل کرده است، در بسیاری از نمایشهای شیکاگو به نمایش گذاشته است و طی سالها در اروپا نقاشی کرده است.
"What! Ten thousand peasants keep five thousand King's troops shut up!" Thus spoke Major General Burgoyne to the skipper of one of the packet boats just outside Boston Harbor. as he and Generals Howe and Clinton arrived from England with reinforcements to put down the rebel1ion
For several engagements, the British could not believe that these colonials could possibly pose a major threat to the King's regulars.
In the words of the men who fought the major and minor battles of that long war, the miracle of final victory gradually unfolds. This is a glorious story be- cause it reveals the willing acceptance of hardships by a totally volunteer militia, fighting for a cause they knew to be just. Lacking the materiel of a major army of that day, many times having to forage for their food. they stayed in the field far beyond the time of their enlistment contracts because they believed in their leaders and the goal of freedom.
From Quebec to St. Augustine-over fifteen hundred miles-the war touched almost all the thirteen colonies in one way or another. We elected to send a watercolor specialist to paint on the scene, in order to capture the physical appearance of each location and interpret it today as it might have appeared two hundred years ago.
Rupert Furneaux - reporter, historian. biographer - is the author of more than twenty-five hooks, includin The Zu1u War, Invasion 1066, and The Battle of Saratoga. His research has been called impeccable and his writing compared to the best of history writers.
His research for The Pictorial History of the American Revo1ution1 was conducted over a three-year period, in both the United States and Great Britain. With a reporter's eye for the relevant and a historian's eye for perspective, he sought out and studied countless personal narratives which have been preserved in the form of journals, diaries, and letters. Few have met the eye of the general reader. The result is a unique story of the birth of the United States of America-rich in drama and human interest, accurate as to detail, and easy for the reader to visualize.
Rupert Furneaux is an Englishman who lives in the beautiful Hampshire countryside.
Kay Smith, whose watercolors add luster to this work, is a Chicago artist specializing in fine art, advertising graphics, and book illustration. Her forty-three paintings and sketches in color reproduced in this volume vividly capture the spirit and setting of many of the important historic places of the Revolutionary period that are now national shrines.
We believe that the artist has imparted a sense of history bridging two hundred years-a touch that no photographer, no matter how sensitive, could possibly accomplish. From the desperation of Valley Forge to the elation of Yorktown, the paintings help to put the viewer right on the scene of the action in this exciting eyewitness history of the war.
Born in Vandalia, Illinois, Kay Smith is a true native of the Middle West. She offers an individuality in style that adds dimension and character to this work. A work- ing member of Chicago's profile fine artists' group, she studied at the Chicago Art Institute, has exhibited in many of the Chicago shows, and has painted in Europe over a period of years.
