Around the Web

As readers of this blog know, I enjoy taking a fresh look at battles of the Revolutionary War. Happily, there are others around the web who feel similarly and who have put together some terrific posts on subjects ranging from the well known to the obscure.

Here are several recommended offerings (in case you missed them):

• Earlier this Spring, Walking the Berkshires posted an astonishingly detailed, 17-part series on John Sullivan's Staten Island Raid of 1777.

• Also earlier this year, Jerseyman wrote about the battle of Fort Mercer at great length. His post includes transcribed journal entries from the participants and electronic copies of a number of rare maps.

• The 2nd Virginia Regiment blog has covered a number of actions in which that regiment participated. An especially good post is this one on the battle of Cooch's Bridge.
