Excerpt from book: 24 CHAPTER III. Proceeds with the 5th Regiment to Ireland?Forced into n duel with his commanding officer nnder very extraordinary circumstances, which obtains for him the friendship of Sir William Medows. Mr. Harris returned to England about the end of February, and, after a few weeks' stay, embarked for Ireland, where he joined his regiment at Limerick. About this time he became involved in a duel with one of his brother officers, a Captain Bell, who had at first been his dearest and most intimate friend, but, influenced by a degree of morbid sensibility, which ultimately terminated in complete derangement, had latterly conceived a most unaccountable aversion against him. An account of this transaction, which is most interesting from the light it throws on the feelings and character of General Harris, has fortunately been preserved, and is here given in his own words, written half a century after the event. My kind friend, the late Lord Manvcrs, having adverted to some circumstances respecting a duel, which had been forced on me by one who was once the most intimate friend of his brother, Sir William Medows, and I, having been requested by my son-in-law, Stephen Lushington, to relate the particulars of that event, as a meansof keeping up a communication with my children when I shall have ceased to exist, I proceed to attempt a compliance with his wish; and I trust I shall not be accused of vanity when it is known that, now past three score years and ten, I do not recollect ever mentioning the circumstance, save at the moment to the two young men mentioned hereafter as being in quarters, and to Lord Man- vers on his questioning me about it. That it has often occurred to memory, may well be supposed, but, I trust, never without a feeling of gratitude to that all-prot...

Book excerpt: Paul Revere's midnight ride looms as an almost mythical event in American history--yet it has been largely ignored by scholars and left to patriotic writers and debunkers. Now one of the foremost American historians offers the first serious look at the events of the night of April 18, 1775--what led up to it, what really happened, and what followed--uncovering a truth far more remarkable than the myths of tradition. In Paul Revere's Ride, David Hackett Fischer fashions an exciting narrative that offers deep insight into the outbreak of revolution and the emergence of the American republic. Beginning in the years before the eruption of war, Fischer illuminates the figure of Paul Revere, a man far more complex than the simple artisan and messenger of tradition. Revere ranged widely through the complex world of Boston's revolutionary movement--from organizing local mechanics to mingling with the likes of John Hancock and Samuel Adams. When the fateful night arrived, more than sixty men and women joined him on his task of alarm--an operation Revere himself helped to organize and set in motion. Fischer recreates Revere's capture that night, showing how it had an important impact on the events that followed. He had an uncanny gift for being at the center of events, and the author follows him to Lexington Green--setting the stage for a fresh interpretation of the battle that began the war. Drawing on intensive new research, Fischer reveals a clash very different from both patriotic and iconoclastic myths. The local militia were elaborately organized and intelligently led, in a manner that had deep roots in New England. On the morning of April 19, they fought in fixed positions and close formation, twice breaking the British regulars. In the afternoon, the American officers switched tactics, forging a ring of fire around the retreating enemy which they maintained for several hours--an extraordinary feat of combat leadership. In the days that followed, Paul Revere led a new battle-- for public opinion--which proved even more decisive than the fighting itself. ] When the alarm-riders of April 18 took to the streets, they did not cry, "the British are coming," for most of them still believed they were British. Within a day, many began to think differently. For George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Thomas Paine, the news of Lexington was their revolutionary Rubicon. Paul Revere's Ride returns Paul Revere to center stage in these critical events, capturing both the drama and the underlying developments in a triumphant return to narrative history at its finest.
