Westchester County NY was the middle ground separating the defenders of the Hudson River Valley from the British who wished to split the new-born United States in two. The personal perspectives of Westchester citizens are described in context with the shift of annual campaigns from New England to the Carolinas and with the power struggles between European nations, in whose eyes the U.S. was just one of many contested areas around the globe. The land granted to the U.S. at the peace table would depend on which side dominated Virginia by the end of 1781, and the U.S. race to avoid bankruptcy, mass desertions, and foreign domination is told with conviction and ample documentation.

Chávez, Thomas E.:   Spain and the Independence of the United States: An Intrinsic Gift (University of New Mexico, 2002). This book describes the role of Spain in the world-wide web of political liaisons, schemes, finance, commerce, power, personalities, and philosophy that formed the setting for the U.S. War for independence in 1775-1783. Spain's colonies in North, Central, and South America and its commercial arrangements with Great Britain in those colonies made it hard for Spain to comply fully with the Bourbon treaty of mutual assistance with France. In spite of that Spain contributed financing, facilitated delivery of military goods, and provided military victories over the British along the Mississippi River and the Gulf Coast that were essential to the U.S. achieving both independence and treaty concessions of the land between the Appalachian mountains and the Mississippi River. The Spanish troops and sailors came from Spain and throughout Spanish America. Many died fighting British forces in Central America, the Caribbean, along the Mississippi River from New Orleans to St. Louis and as far north as Michigan, along the Gulf Coast to Mobile and Pensacola, as well as in Europe. 286 pages, $24.95, ( Univ. of New Mexico Press, 2002) Chernow, R.:   Alexander Hamilton (The Pengiun Press, New York, 2004) Clotworthy, William G.:   In the Footsteps of George Washington -- A Guide to Places Commemorating Our First President (McDonald and Woodward, GranvilleOH, 2002) identifies, describes, and provides access information about the more than 250 publicly accessible sites that commemorate the life and legacy of the first president of the United States.
