Title
The French in America during the War of Independence of the United States, 1777-1783 : a translation ... of Les Français en Amérique pendant la guerre de l'indépendance des États-Unis
Publisher
Philadelphia, Porter & Coates
Description
Vol. 1 translated by Thomas Willing Balch ; v. 2, by Edwin Swift Balch and Elise Willing Balch
"This work is divided into two parts: the first treats of the causes and origin of the War or Independence, sums up the events of that war to 1781, and gives a complete account of the expedition of the French forces, commanded by the Court de Rochambeau, up to 1783. The second part is particularly devoted--1st. To historical notices of the French regiments which crossed to America and served there. 2d. To biographical notices of the French volunteers who took service under Congres, and of the principal officers who were present at the sieges of Savannah and Yorktown, or who fought on land or sea for the independence of the United States. 3d. To many episodes and interesting details, among which will be found a sketch of American society at that period, as it appeared to the French officers, who speak in their manuscripts and letters of the private life of a great number of notable American families." -- page v
