| Summary | "The Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution, Vol. 2" by Benson John Lossing is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume, like its predecessor, offers a richly detailed exploration of the American War for Independence, featuring both text and illustrations to enhance the reader's understanding of key events, figures, and locations relevant to the struggle for independence. The work is deeply personalized, as it captures Lossing's own journey through Southern states significant to the war, conveying both the historical and emotional weight of these locations. The opening portion of the text recounts Lossing's departure from New York to the Southern states on November 22, 1848, as he embarks on a personal journey to unveil the history of places marked by revolutionary significance. Highlighting the problems of travel at the time, Lossing describes the challenges he faced, such as remote locales and inadequate transport facilities, choosing to navigate with his horse and wagon. His reflections on the landscape turn into a reverent homage to the memories and associations tied to the War for Independence, blending the personal with the historical to invite readers into the rich tapestry of America's revolutionary past.
