The Administration of the American Revolutionary Army
While we often focus on the events of the major battles and the political outcomes of the American Revolution, it is the details that made all the difference in securing America's independence.Frequently hailed as a great leader, George Washington's greatest accomplishment was to hold the Continental Army together. In this book, The Administration of the American Army, historian Louis Clinton Hatch examines how Washington kept the army together. He examines every major aspect of running the army, from pay to mutiny, and from teh role of foreign leaders to teh failures of Congress to treat soldiers fairly.The first major modern and critical study on this topic, Hatch's work was a pioneering entry in the Harvard Historical Studies series, laying the foundation for military administrative study.
The Administration of the American Revolutionary Army
From Hatch's 1903 first chapter, showing a young militia in chaos - CHAPTER I. FORMATION OF THE ARMY. When the Second Continental Congress met, May lo, 1775, the British army was shut up in Boston by bodies of imperfectly organized and ill-trained troops from the four New England colonies. This mass of armed men which constituted the besieging force scarcely deserved the name of army, and the units of which it was composed could hardly be called soldiers. The Americans, indeed, were brave, accustomed to long and difficult journeys, and familiar with the use of firearms; but they knew little of military training or military subordination. To be sure, nearly every able-bodied man served in the militia; but under a popular or a semi-popular government, and with little immediate danger of invasion, people are ordinarily too busy sowing and reaping, buying and selling, to give much attention to drills and reviews. These conditions had brought about the usual results, and the musters had degenerated into little more than farces. . . .
