In December 1774, Benjamin Franklin met Caroline Howe, the sister of British Admiral Richard and General William Howe, in a London drawing room for "half a dozen Games of Chess." As Julie Flavell reveals, the games concealed a matter of the utmost diplomatic urgency, a last-ditch attempt to forestall the outbreak of war. Aware that the Howes, both the men and the women, have seemed impenetrable to historians, Flavell investigated the letters of Caroline Howe, which have been overlooked for centuries. Using these revelatory documents, Flavell provides a compelling reinterpretation of England's famous family across four wars, centering on their enigmatic roles in the American Revolution. The Howe Dynasty interweaves action-packed stories of North American military campaigns-including the Battles of Bunker Hill and Long Island-with parlor-room intrigues back in England, creating a riveting narrative that brings alive the influence of these extraordinary women in both peacetime and war"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Howe, Caroline, $d 1722-1814. 600 30 $a Howe family. 600 37 $a Howe family. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00216299 610 10 $a Great Britain. $b Army $x Officers $v Biography. 610 17 $a Great Britain. $b Army. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533555 648 7 $a 1760-1789 $2 fast 650 0 $a Families of military personnel $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Brothers and sisters $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Aristocracy (Social class) $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 7 $a Aristocracy (Social class) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814463 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Officers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814617 650 7 $a Brothers and sisters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839671 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Families of military personnel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920136 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $y 1760-1789. 651 0 $a United States $x British forces. $y Revolution, 1775-1783 $x British forces. 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781631490620 941 $a 10 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710054629.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012512.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023529.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013354.0 952 $l OJPC027 $d 20220615160649.0 $m 973.309 FLA 952 $l KQPC446 $d 20211214010610.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20211002013150.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210902011052.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210805010101.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210804010321.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=438B2D92F4E911EBA186761358ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
