The Forgotten General: Robert Erskine 1735-1780 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432571030)

The Forgotten General: Robert Erskine 1735-1780 is a biography written by Albert H. Heusser. The book explores the life and career of Robert Erskine, a Scottish-American engineer and cartographer who served as the geographer and surveyor general for the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Erskine was instrumental in mapping key strategic locations and providing intelligence to General George Washington, but his contributions were largely overlooked in history. Heusser's book delves into Erskine's personal life, his military service, and his legacy as a pioneer in the field of cartography. The Forgotten General is a well-researched and engaging account of a little-known figure in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
