See the revolution through the eyes of contemporary artists!

Most images depicting the American Revolution are historically inaccurate nineteenth- and twentieth-century recreations. Historian Arthur S. Lefkowitz is working to change this. Lefkowitz gathered images from artists who were eyewitnesses to the events of our War for Independence. His research in museums and private collections in the United States, Canada, and Europe spanned years and brought together both professional and amateur artist renditions, including those from British officers. With over one hundred examples of "eyewitness" artwork, Lefkowitz draws readers into our nation's fight for independence, appealing to those interested in American history and art history alike.

Arthur S. Lefkowitz is an author, Revolutionary War historian, businessman, and independent researcher. A member of the board of governors of the American Revolution Round Table, he previously served on the board of the Brigade of the American Revolution. Lefkowitz has lectured extensively for the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, at various National Park Service sites, the annual Fort Ticonderoga Revolutionary War Symposium, Fraunces Tavern Museum, and Chubb & Son, Inc. He was also the keynote speaker during an annual meeting of the prestigious Washington Association of New Jersey.

Lefkowitz received a BA from New York University and earned his MBA at Long Island University. While he enjoys many areas of history, the American Revolution resonated with him after he joined a Revolutionary War reenactment group. He says that the American Revolution "marks the beginning of the modern age in world history when men took action to decide how they would be governed."

His books have received numerous awards and accolades, including the Outstanding Book for Teenagers by the New York Public Library and a recognition award from the New York chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. He won the American Revolution Round Table's annual book award, and one title was voted an Honor Book by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
