[EAN: 9781332343713], Neubuch, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from General Orders: Issued by Major-General William Heath, When in Command of the Eastern Department, 23 May, 1777 3 October, 1777 It must be confessed that an Orderly Book does not make very interesting reading, even when it represents an army in action. It is still less interesting when it depicts a garrison life, the monotony being broken only by the records of courts martial, or by a possible call from the outside for troops. At the same time, it is from such books that valuable facts may be found to complete other and more important records. The evolution of an army from the aggregation of raw recruits yielding to the iron discipline of military law, the development and application of this discipline, the daily life in camp, the movement of corps and brigades, the details of army organization, and often the words of praise and blame addressed by a commander to his men, that throw light upon the character of the leader, and often his plans, - these are some of the matters that can be best learned from a study of the general orders, and on the determination of which may rest more important historical problems.

Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from General Orders: Issued by Major-General William Heath, When in Command of the Eastern Department, 23 May, 1777 3 October, 1777 One of the Orderly Books from which I have com piled these orders appears to have belonged to Colonel William Raymond Lee, commanding a Massachusetts regiment, which, with Henley's and Jackson's regi ments, are frequently mentioned in Revolutionary let ters, as they do not appear to have been organized as regular Continental troops, but upon an independent basis. It was not until 1779 or 1780 that what re mained of them was incorporated with the Continental army, when their identity was merged into that of the main army. I have, in this volume, included certain orders issued while Lee's regiment was on the march, at Peekskill, when under the command of Major - Gen eral Putnam, and when on detachment at Lancaster; but I have omitted the orders issued by Washington when this regiment was with the main army at White Marsh, and those of Sullivan when in command at Rhode Island, as it is my intention to print them in separate volumes.
