Step into the command tent at the turning-point of 1775. Here, the American Revolution is recorded day by day. Orders. Returns. Names. Places. Dates. General Sir William Howe's Orderly Book gathers a rare revolutionary war orderly book from Charlestown, Boston and Halifax, covering the tense months from the battle of Bunker Hill through the evacuation and onward into 1776. Edited from original manuscripts by Edward Everett Hale and Benjamin Franklin Stevens, it is an archival document collection of directives, rosters and 18th century military returns that reveal British army operations at street level: movements, discipline, supply, and the practical machinery of a campaign. Added to the daily orders is a complete correspondence edition in abridged official form, presenting General Howe's communications with the English Government during the siege of Boston, alongside selected military returns that anchor decisions to hard numbers. Together they chart command anxiety and adaptation, illuminating how policy met New England terrain. Few American revolution documents show the administrative pulse so clearly in 1775 and 1776. For readers of British redcoat history, it is immediacy without invention; for students, a backbone of academic primary sources. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Whether you follow genealogy and local history, study the 1775 Boston campaign, or build a shelf of American revolution documents, this is a document-driven classic with enduring historical weight.
