Forgotten patriots: the untold story of American prisoners during the Revolutionary War
by Edwin G. Burrows
Between 1775 and 1783, some 200,000 Americans took up arms against the British Crown. Just over 6,800 of those men died in battle. About 25,000 became prisoners of war, most of them confined in New York City under conditions so atrocious that they perished by the thousands. Evidence suggests that at least 17,500 Americans may have died in these prisons—more than twice the number to die on the battlefield. It was in New York, not Boston or Philadelphia, where most Americans gave their lives for the cause of independence.
The first floor of the McNichols Campus Library will be under renovation this summer, and will not be accessible to patrons. During this time, a limited number of computer workstations will be available on the library’s third floor in Room 324. Reference services also will be available in Room 324.
Effective Monday, July 6, access to the library will be limited to UDM STUDENTS AND UDM PERSONNEL ONLY. During the renovation media (CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes) will be UNAVAILABLE.
Although summer began officially on June 21, Independence Day is the essential summer holiday in the United States. Following are links to web resources about this holiday. The federal site for the Fourth of July links to many documents, regional celebrations, speeches and recipes. Events around Detroit appear in the Detroit News. For celebrations in the city where it all began, look at this link to Philadelphia. Click independence to see other international celebrations.
