Publisher's Synopsis
As the Battles of Trenton, Princeton, and Bound Brook raged nearby, the people of Monmouth County fought their own internal revolution; Loyalist partisans led insurrections and raids that laid waste to entire neighborhoods. In 1778, General George Washington rallied his Continental army and fought the British within Monmouth's borders, barely holding the field. Monmouth Countians joined the fight and then spent the following weeks caring for the wounded and burying the dead. The remaining war years brought more hardships, as they grappled with a local civil war charged with racial, religious, and economic undercurrents - a local civil war that continued long after the Battle of Yorktown supposedly ended hostilities. This book gives you about the American revolution book with was called "the theatre of spoil and destruction".
