ReviewsI found John Haslet's World to be a most enjoyable and informative read. David Price has done an amazing amount of research, as reflected in the extensive bibliography, and I can't even imagine the number of hours that went into this work! An an interpreter at WCHP, I appreciate that this book has greatly enhanced my understanding of the critical role John Haslet and the Delaware Blues played in the Ten Crucial Days of the Revolution. In addition, the Appendix is so helpful in highlighting the major events and organizing the wealth of information presented in chronological order. I want to thank David for his dedication to this project.
SynopsisThis is the story of Colonel John Haslet an Irish immigrant to the American colonies who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting for his adopted country. During this pivotal moment an America's war for independence against Great Britain, a newborn nation struggled to survive against a militarily superior force deployed by a mighty empire. This is also a chronicle of the inspirational leadership and service of the Delaware Regiment that Haslet formed and guided, told as part of a more wide-ranging narrative about the 1776 campaign of Washington's army. That battered but resilient force faced the prospect of total defeat in the winter of 1776-1777 as the quest for American independence hung in the balance. Book jacket.
