Excerpt from Catherine Schuyler: With Portrait The period embraced within the years of Catherine Schuyler's life is the most exciting in American history. In its military aspect it comprehends the French and Indian War and the Revolution. In its political aspect it includes the life of the Colony and the beginnings of the Nation. Through the position of her own family and as the wife of General Philip Schuyler, she is a representative figure among the women of the Dutch Colony and the matrons of the Revolution. At the same time, in her own character she was so domestic, retiring, and unobtrusive that many of the details of her life can only be discovered indirectly and with difficulty. The impression which a study extending over a considerable period of all the authorities has left will be discovered in this volume.

"I am no stranger to the qualities which distinguish your character." - Alexander Hamilton in a letter to Catherine Schuyler Catherine Schuyler was one of the most important figures in early American history. Married to Philip Schuyler, known as the General of the North during the revolution, she played a critical role in the days of the war for America's liberty. Catherine Schuyler: A Woman of the Revolution details the life and times of this larger-than-life woman. Born in 1734, Catherine Schuyler grew up to become the grande dame of Albany. As her husband went off to fight for freedom--and their lives--it fell to Catherine to manage the household, raise the children, and protect them from the attacks of both the Indians and British. Whether it was providing food for the billeted soldiers, defending against an Indian attack, even setting fire to her family's own fields as the British approached, she faced life with determination and courage. Catherine Schuyler was at the epicenter of the social life of Albany, entertaining such distinguished guests such as George Washington, Ben Franklin, and British General Burgoyne. She was the mother of 15 children, eight of whom survived including Elizabeth Schuyler, who married Alexander Hamilton. In Catherine Schuyler: A Woman of the Revolution, author Mary Humphreys, a journalist and women's rights activist, provides a compelling and well-rounded look at Catherine's rich and fascinating life. Catherine Schuyler was a woman of strength and elegance who served her country and her family in equal measure.
