Rent New Hampshire's General John Stark: Live Free or Die: Death Is Not the Worst of Evils

Synopsis

John Stark served with the famous Rogers' Rangers during the French and Indian War, where he honed the leadership skills that placed him among the most successful military commanders of that conflict, and the Revolutionary War. His extraordinary performance at Bunker Hill, the siege of Boston, the Battles of Trenton, Bennington, and Saratoga, and as commander of the Northern Department has gone relatively unheralded. He was a legendary hero, a true Cincinnatus, who embodies the values that made our country great. He was a frugal, independent, and cantankerous New England Yankee. His legacy of valor for a cause greater than self are a tribute that time cannot diminish. Comments and Reviews of New Hampshire's General John Stark Book Clifton La Bree, a forester by profession, has written a biography that…incorporates fascinating and original documents dealing with the times before and after the Battle of Bennington. He can convey a memorable mood or set the scene, for example, the terror and dread among the population of the Champlain Valley when Burgoyne's army tramped southward in the spring and summer of 1777. Tyler Resch, Librarian, Bennington Museum. I was totally interested. The book (New Hampshire's General John Stark)filled in a lot of gaps the major history books do not cover. I love what you wrote about Benedict Arnold too…I got interested in John Stark when I went to a museum in NH. I'm one of the few non-NH people who know where the motto, Live Free or Die, comes from. June Carter, English professor at the University of Maine. As I have noted, La Bree's dissertation of our nation's beloved son [John Stark]is as timeless as it is valuable. Matt Funk, The Linnean Society of London. I purchased your book on Gen. John Stark in 2008 (autographed) and loved it. It was refreshing to be able to read about the past and combine it with New Hampshire. I wish there were more books out there like yours. John Williams Thanks so much for the book. Very interesting, Great job, Lovely book! I'll treasure it! Lorraine Barney
