Prelude to RevolutionThe Salem Gunpowder Raid of 1775

Peter Charles Hoffer

Before colonial Americans could declare independence, they had to

undergo a change of heart. Beyond a desire to rebel against British mer-

cantile and fiscal policies, they had to believe that they could stand up to

the fully armed British soldier. Prelude to Revolution uncovers one story

of how the Americans found that confidence: a British raid on Salem,

Massachusetts, which turned into a bloodless triumph for the colonists.

Native Memoirs from the War of 1812Black Hawk and William Apess

Carl Benn

“Benn’s editing of the autobiographies is expert, unobtrusive, and

thorough. He clarifies the confusing chronology in the original texts

and intervenes with spare but important commentary. The idea of

putting Apess and Black Hawk together in one book is highly original

and timely.”—Gregory Evans Dowd, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

William Henry Harrison and the Conquest of the Ohio CountryFrontier Fighting in the War of 1812

blow account of the tactics and logistics of the War of 1812. So many

current books focus on the cultural, political, global, and diplomatic

dimensions of war that it is refreshing to read a straightforward military

narrative.”—Andrew Cayton, Miami University

CoxsackieThe Life and Death of Prison Reform

Joseph F. Spillane

Spillane examines the failure of progressive reform in New York

State by focusing on Coxsackie, a New Deal reformatory built for

pinning the prison’s mission was overwhelmed by challenges it

was unequipped or unwilling to face—drugs, gangs, and racial

conflict.
