This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... tidiso for the Futcre.--Desibes to Go Bick to Eubope.--Bttt remains fob the Pbfsent. I/-alb was prepared to leave at once, if his appearance J" in camp should give rise to disagreeable remarks, or his reception should be other than a cheerful one. But, being cordially welcomed by all the American officers, he assumed the command, in the early part of November, of a division assigned him, which was formed of New England regiments." He was assailed, however, by the petty envy of the Irishman Conway. This brigadier, who subsequently acquired an unenviable prominence in the annals of the American revolution by the cabal, already inaugurated, and since designated by his name, felt himself injured and foreshortened in his claims by the appointment of Kalb as major-general. Although, like the latter, he had quitted the French service with the rank of brigadier, he endeavored to make it appear that he had fornferly been Kalb's superior officer, and was now unjustly subordinate to him. "It is with exquisite concern," writes Conway complainingly to Congress," "that I find myself slighted and forgot, when you have offered rank to persons who cost you a great deal of money, and have never rendered you the least service. Baron de Kalb, to whom you have offered the rank of Major-General, is my inferior in France." And thus he proceeded to utter his complaints and objections, winding up with a demand of a major-general's commission. He approached Washington in the same manner; but the latter knew his man too well to be influenced by threats, and coolly repelled his advances. Nevertheless, by the aid of powerful friends in Congress, and in the teeth

Excerpt from The Life of John Kalb: Major-General in the Revolutionary Army Congress having on February 19th, 1883, passed the resolution to carry out the vote of October 14th, 1780, to erect at Annapolis a monument in honor of General Kalb, I find the moment propitious to prepare for publication a book which I have long had by me. Besides I prefer publishing my researches in my own name to running the risk of seeing them adopted by others who do not even condescend to mention the source from which they have drawn their information. I do not consider it out of place to submit this work to the American reader, as the necessary sequel to the life of Frederick William von Steuben, published in 1859. Kalb and Steuben taken together complete the design I had in view of detailing the participation of German generals in the establishment of American independence. Both of these men were noble specimens of the race from which they sprung, and under the most unfavorable auspices they have unfolded some of its finest qualities. What first led me to an inquiry into Kalb's personal history was the mysterious twilight in which his memory was shrouded. Even the orthography of his name was uncertain. Some write it Kalbe, others Colbe, still others Kalb; Mr. Bancroft names Alsace as his native land, while Lord Stormond, the English ambassador, assigns him to Switzerland. The year of his birth varied between 1717 and 1732; one authority credits his military antecedents to the Prussian, another to the Austrian, a third to the French army.
