Destruction of the Gaspee,
By Dr. John Concannon (Warwick, RI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Documentary History of the Destruction of the Gaspee (Rhode Island Revolutionary Heritage Series, Volume 5) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent review of the history surrounding the burning of the British revenue schooner, the HMS Gaspee in Rhode Island waters in June of 1772. This incident was of great importance to the American Colonies in that the British attempts in finding the culprits were frustrated by a union of spirit amongst the Colonists not to cooperate with the investigation. This led directly to the formation of the Committees of Correspondence, and furthered the Revolutionary ideas for independence. Originally written for the Providence Gazette in 1845 by William Staples. Forward by Richard Deasy, Professor of History, Providence College. |
