New Hampshire was one of the first colonies to declare its independence from British rule. The patriotism and courage demonstrated in that act were by no means unprecedented--just before they began the Revolution, state residents attacked British-occupied Fort William and Mary in December 1774. While no battles were fought within the borders of the Granite State, these loyal sons of liberty contributed more men than any other state. Author Bruce D. Heald, PhD, celebrates the achievements and experiences of New Hampshire throughout the American Revolution. Learn how General John Stark gained battle experience in the French and Indian War that allowed him to successfully lead the First New Hampshire Regiment. Heald offers an in-depth description of the state's regiments, forts (including the Fort at Number 4 in Charlestown) and distinguished Patriots in addition to the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

At this time the difficulties between New York and Vermont were at their height and a condition little short of actual war existed between them, while Gen. Stark thought New Hampshire ought to settle the difficulty by claiming the territory it had formerly granted arid holding it. In April, 1782, Washington established his head quarters at Newburg, where he continued most of the time, till nearly all the army was discharged. In the autumn the army, which had mainly all been encamped at Verplanck's point, marched up and was hutted at New Windsor, two miles below Washington's quarters, and here or in the neighborhood our regiment spent the winter of 1782 and the following year. These were months of repose, the war was over, their long weary marches and months of privations were past, the battles had been fought, the great cause for which they had so long contended was gained, and they could look forward to peace and prosperity. But the definitive treaty had not been signed, and the British army still held New Tork. Under these circumstances Washington recommended that the army should still he retained, and so they remained till November, when the British commander notified.Washington that he was ready to evacuate the city of New York, which he soon did, and "Washington entered it the same day, and during that month nearly all of our troops were disbanded..
