Pictures of the Revolutionary period between 1765 and 1790 represent the immediate record of a major event in world history. Mostly European products from England, France, and Germany, they reflect propagandistic tones and hasty inaccuracies, but they also give a feeling of vital immediacy and show how men saw the Revolution while it was happening. We find few prints made in America during those years because type, steel, lead, paper, presses, and skilled manpower became scarce during the war, and only the most heroic printers continued their productions on a smaller scale. -- Preface.

Most images depicting the American Revolution are historically inaccurate nineteenth- and twentieth-century recreations. Historian Arthur S. Lefkowitz is working to change this. Lefkowitz gathered images from artists who were on-site for these pivotal moments in our nation's history. His research in museums and private collections in the United States, Canada, and England spanned years and brought together both professional and amateur artist renditions, including those from British soldiers. With over 60 examples of "eyewitness" artwork, Lefkowitz draws readers into our nation's fight for independence, appealing to those interested in American history and art history alike. Historically accurate illustrations and maps Printed in vibrant, full color Features art from collections around the world Written by an esteemed historian Military historian and author Arthur S. Lefkowitz has dedicated his research to the most important event in United States history: the Revolutionary War. His expertise in the field has given him the opportunity to lecture for various organizations, including the New Jersey Council for the Humanities and the Washington Association of New Jersey, for whom he was a keynote speaker. Lefkowitz's scholarly expertise has even been showcased in several appearances on New Jersey Public Television.
