The riveting chronicle of Paul Revere's only military service during the Revolution, a major but disastrous episode in his life At the height of the American Revolution in 1779, Massachusetts launched the Penobscot Expedition, a massive military and naval undertaking designed to force the British from the strategically important coast of Maine. What should have been an easy victory for the larger American force quickly descended into a quagmire of arguing, disobedience, and failed strategy. In the end, not only did the British retain their stronghold, but the entire flotilla of American vessels was lost in what became the worst American naval disaster prior to Pearl Harbor. In the inevitable finger-pointing that followed the debacle, the already-famous Lieutenant Colonel Paul Revere, commissioned as the expedition's artillery commander, was shockingly charged by fellow officers with neglect of duty, disobeying orders, and cowardice. The fiery Revere spent the next several years of his life actively pursuing a court-martial, in an effort to resuscitate the one thing he valued above all--his reputation. The single event defining Revere to this day is his ride from Charlestown to Lexington on the night of April 18, 1775, made famous by Longfellow's poem of 1860. This is the first book to give a full account of Reveres conduct before, during, and after the disastrous Penobscot Expedition, and of his questionable reputation, at the time, which only Longfellow's poem could rehabilitate. With extensive research and a riveting narrative that brings the battles and courtroom drama to life, The Court-Martial of Paul Revere is a must-read for anyone who yearns to understand the early days of our country.
