Summary "The Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Benson John Lossing is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the American Revolution through a combination of historical narrative and illustrations, aiming to capture significant events, figures, and locations associated with the war for independence. The book stands as a thorough documentation meant to evoke a deeper appreciation for the nation's history and the monuments of that era. At the start of the volume, Lossing introduces his intent to document a journey through the key historical sites of the American Revolution, expressing his desire to create a record that merges travel with the history of significant events. He reflects on the challenges of intertwining a chronological narrative with a travelogue, emphasizing the importance of preserving the physical remnants of the revolution for future generations. Lossing recounts his extensive travels across former colonies, gathering stories and visual representations that highlight the spirit and sacrifice of the people involved in the fight for independence. The opening also sets the tone for a respectful reverence for the memories of those who paved the way for the nation’s freedom, revealing a strong sense of patriotism embedded in his work.
