Dear Reader:

Hope you’re enjoying your summer.

I wanted to make note of three books that will soon be released and should garner interest among Rev War aficionados (listed in order of their anticipated publication):

“No Man Deserves Better of His Country”: Robert Kirkwood of Delaware, Revolutionary War Patriot
by James R. Mc Intyre (Brookline Books) — to be released September 15, 2026

A closer look at one of Delaware’s foremost heroes of the Revolution, who distinguished himself as an officer in the legendary Delaware Continental Regiment, known as the “Delawares Blues.”

Revolutionary Snipers: Washington’s Frontier Commandos Whose Marksmanship Forged a New Way of War and Helped Win the Revolution
by Patrick K. O’Donnell (Atlantic Monthly Press) — to be released November 10, 2026

An examination of the significant role played by Patriot riflemen and their lethal weaponry in the war for independence.

River of Victory: The Delaware Crossings that Saved the American Revolution
by William L. (Larry) Kidder (Brookline Books) — to be released January 9, 2027

A deep dive (pun intended) into the critical importance of the Delaware River in Washington’s legendary 1776-77 “Ten Crucial Days” winter campaign.

Happy reading!

Best regards,
