A Point of Controversy - The Battle of Point Pleasant - Poffenbarger VS Lewis (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Was the "Shot heard round the World" at Lexington actually an echo from the gently rolling hills around the confluence of the Great Kanawha and Ohio Rivers? Was the Battle of Point Pleasant actually the first battle of the American Revolution? At the beginning of the 20th century, through the tireless efforts of Mrs. Livia Nye Simpson Poffenbarger, the battle site, the monuments and the recognition by congress that this was a "battle of the Revolution" were secured. If it was indeed a battle of the Revolution, then it was the first as it occurred six months before the fight at Lexington. Her adversary was Virgil Anson Lewis, noted Historian and Archivist for the State of West Virginia. Both he and Livia wrote books on this controversial subject and these books are both presented complete in this volume. This book has some very interesting, thought provoking facts and speculations for you to consider as you ponder the works of these two historians and form your own opinion.
