This modern, annotated adaptation of the original three-volume edition of Women of the American Revolution by Elizabeth Ellet restores, in a single volume, a unique compilation of the roles played by eighty-four American women in the Revolutionary War. A best-seller in the 1850s, Ellet's work is here carefully edited for today's readers by a distinguished Revolutionary War historian. It contains a new introduction and many explanatory footnotes. A new organization arranges these biographies from north to south by colony, underlining the vast differences in class and culture among the various states. While not America's earliest female historian, Elizabeth Ellet may easily lay claim to being America's first historian of women. Before publication of her books, readers had come close to losing track of the important role played by women in the War for Independence.

In the September 1909 a young freelance reporter for Europe's leading financial daily filed his first of a series of cabled articles spanning the two-week long Hudson-Fulton Celebration, a Dutch-American extravaganza commemorating Hudson's voyage 300 years before and Fulton's steamboat 100 years before. The reports made front-page news. It was a remarkably optimistic moment in New York City's history, well into the new century, and the reporter and his readers were witnesses to all of it. Now almost a century after the event, the reporter's son has translated his father's articles with an illuminating and engaging commentary on the city in 1909. Included are biographical sketches of Henry Hudson and Robert Fulton and an epilogue on the fate of the replicas of the two vessels at the center of the celebration.

DLincoln was born on January 25, 1923 in New York City, New York, United States; the son of Rudolph and Rose (Bloom) Diamant.
Diamant attended New York City public schools, Townsend Harris High School and Stuyvesant High School. He graduated from the Walden School in 1939. Four years later Lincoln received an honorary degree of Bachelor of Arts from Columbia College.
Diamant helped found the Columbia University's radio station in the winter of 1941. Its call letters were CURC (standing for the Columbia University Radio Club). The first piece of music broadcast over CURC was a record from his own collection, "From Oakland to Burbank," an instrumental swing number composed and played by Ray Noble and his orchestra.
Thanks to his practical experience in operating the University's radio station, he quickly found a job with the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System. Lincoln remained there for about a year before joining the Columbia Broadcasting System in 1945, and its radio station, WABC. In three months he became a senior sound effects man. One of his principal sound effects was to imitate the rattling of teacups. Then Diamant was put in charge of editing the overnight shortwave news distributed by Elmer Davis's OWI (Office of War Information).
Around 1950, he decided to leave broadcasting. He found a job in book publishing in the New York office of the World Publishing Company of Cleveland, with the title "Advertising and Promotion Manager". In 1952, he began to work in McCann Erickson agency. There Diamant remained for three years, writing print advertising for such accounts as John Hancock, Owens-Corning Fiberglas, Buick and Chrysler. In 1959, he was appoined a senior television producer at Ogilvy & Mather agency and held the position until 1964. Then in 1964 Lincoln took a position of a television production supervisor at Grey Advertising agency and worked until 1969.
Between 1981 and 1992, Diamant provided monitored billings for big advertisers, including publisher Condé Nast, food processor Nestlé and Bristol-Myers, manufacturers of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals. That work gave him an opportunity to increase the tempo of his historical research, and he would spend his afternoons in the New York Public Library. An impressive series of books about the American Revolution followed in quick succession.
