{"product_id":"marthas-vineyard-in-the-american-thomas-dresser-9781540250780","title":"Martha's Vineyard in the American Revolution","description":"As an isolated island outpost, Martha's Vineyard faced some unique challenges during the American Revolution. Neutrality was maintained at the start of the war due to the impact of the British regulations on the fishing and whaling industries. While political expediency may have dominated the day, Vineyard Patriots protected their homeland against the Royal Navy and contributed to the revolutionary effort against marauding British redcoats. In 1778, two key events--one involving three young women and the second an armada of forty naval ships--crystalized the opinion of Vineyarders that they should no longer remain neutral to British incursions on the Island and, more broadly, on American soil. Join local author Tom Dresser as he reveals the unheralded contributions of islanders to the fight for freedom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Dresser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1540250784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540250780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History PR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Thomas Dresser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44046694678783,"sku":"9781540250780","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07108e40-c566-48e4-9983-bc99416d5610.jpg?v=1684985935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/marthas-vineyard-in-the-american-thomas-dresser-9781540250780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
