Book excerpt: Excerpt from Order of the Descendants of Colonial Governors Prior to 1750: Roll of Members in the State of California The Order of the Descendants of Colonial Governors was founded in January, 1896, by Miss Mary Cabell Richardson, of Covington, Kentucky, a Colonial Dame of Virginia and Daughter of the American Revolution. It commemorates the services of those men who exercised supreme executive power in the American Colonies, and who laid in them the foundations of stable government and of that respect for civil law and authority which made the maintenance of their future independence possible. The Order recognizes as Colonial Governors all persons invested with supreme executive authority in the government of colonies comprised within the territory of the thirteen Colonial States, under whatever title that authority was exercised, and whether derived from the Crown by appointment, from the people by election, from another Governor or from a chartered company by commission. The Order admits among Colonial Governors those persons who, by election or by appointment of the Crown, held the offices of Deputy-Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Vice-Director-General or Vice-President in the Colonial States, and also those persons who, in the absence of the Chief Magistrate, were temporarily invested with supreme governing authority, irrespective of length of service.

Book excerpt: From one of our most acclaimed and original colonial historians, a groundbreaking book tracing the critical "long year" of 1774 and the revolutionary change that took place from the Boston Tea Party and the First Continental Congress to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. A WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR In this masterly work of history, the culmination of more than four decades of research and thought, Mary Beth Norton looks at the sixteen months leading up to the clashes at Lexington and Concord in mid-April 1775. This was the critical, and often overlooked, period when colonists traditionally loyal to King George III began their discordant “discussions” that led them to their acceptance of the inevitability of war against the British Empire. Drawing extensively on pamphlets, newspapers, and personal correspondence, Norton reconstructs colonial political discourse as it took place throughout 1774. Late in the year, conservatives mounted a vigorous campaign criticizing the First Continental Congress. But by then it was too late. In early 1775, colonial governors informed officials in London that they were unable to thwart the increasing power of local committees and their allied provincial congresses. Although the Declaration of Independence would not be formally adopted until July 1776, Americans had in effect “declared independence ” even before the outbreak of war in April 1775 by obeying the decrees of the provincial governments they had elected rather than colonial officials appointed by the king. Norton captures the tension and drama of this pivotal year and foundational moment in American history and brings it to life as no other historian has done before.
