Muskets, Cannon Balls, & Bombs
Stephen Harvard, Savannah, Georgia, 1974
Description
These nine narratives on the siege of Savannah in 1779 are written by participants during and after the siege—three Frenchmen, three Englishmen and three Americans. The effect of this arrangement is to emphasize how the American Revolution was just one episode in a worldwide struggle of great powers.
