FEATURED PUBLICATION
The Art of War in the Age of the American Revolution:
100 Treasures from the Robert Charles Lawrence Fergusson Collection
by Ellen McCallister Clark
Foreword by Jack D. Warren, Jr.
The Robert Charles Lawrence Fergusson Collection was established in 1988 to honor the memory of a young twentieth-century Cincinnatus who gave his life in service to his country. The collection that honors Lieutenant Fergusson’s gallant sacrifice specializes in early printed and manuscript works that illuminate the theory and practice of the warfare in the age of the American Revolution. Numbering more than twelve thousand items, the collection has been developed through careful, focused collecting over more than three decades. It is the heart of the library of the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati and has inspired and supported the research of thousands of scholars. This catalog presents a selection of one hundred highlights of the Fergusson Collection. The items are arranged by format—rare books, manuscripts, maps, broadsides, graphic arts, and fine arts and artifacts.
