Since 2014, I have been a historical interpreter at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA), where I conduct guided tours relating to the "Ten Crucial Days" of the American Revolution, the period from December 25, 1776 through January 3, 1777, which is the subject of my two books ("Rescuing the Revolution" and "The Road to Assunpink Creek") and an integral part of my most recent work ("John Haslet's World").

My blog ("Speaking of Which" at dpauthor.com) focuses on a variety of topics relating to the War of Independence, and my current literary project is a book on the Battle of Harlem Heights in 1776 for Westholme Publishing as part of its "Small Battles" series. In addition, I had three articles published in the Journal of the American Revol

This will be the story of the U.S. Army's first battlefield success and is specifically designed to raise the historical profile of Colonel Thomas Knowlton of Connecticut, who was mortally wounded in that engagement. Knowlton compiled a remarkable military record in support of the Revolution over a period of less than a-year-and-a-half and was chosen by George Washington to lead the army's first intelligence and reconnaissance unit, known as "Knowlton's Rangers.". He is generally considered to be the father of U.S. military intelligence, and an award was created in his honor in 1995 by the Military Intelligence Corps Association. (As an aside, Knowlton's Rangers included Captain Nathan Hale - yes, that Nathan Hale - whom Knowlton selected to undertake the fateful spy mission ordered by Washington.) (less)

He had read my article, "Thomas Knowlton's Revolution," in the September 2, 2021 issue of the online Journal of the American Revolution (JAR) and asked if I would be interested in writing a book for Westholme's "Small Battles" series about the Battle of Harlem Heights, in which Knowlton lost his life. Bruce agreed to my idea of using this as a vehicle to raise Knowlton's historical profile as well as the battle's, and I agreed to write the book. BTW the Knowlton article in JAR will be republished in April 2022 in its annual hardcover volume that incudes the best articles from the prior year as selected by the editors of JAR. (less)

Sharing Shorto

Russell Shorto's new book, "Revolution Song: A Story of American Freedom," is a superbly written work that skillfully interweaves the stories of several individuals, from the most prominent to the generally obscure, who were caught up in the revolutionary upheaval that engulfed Great Britain's North American colonies in the 1770's. I found it to be a real page-turner and perhaps the most enjoyable Read more of this blog post »
