1836 American Revolution George Washington Revolutionary War Maps Botta

Carlo Botta based his history of the American Revolution upon an extensive reading of sources in both French and English. By many, Botta's version of the history of the war was more judicious, more chaste, more classical and truer than Marshall's rendition. This important early history of the American Revolution was first published in Italian in 1809. In a letter to John Adams, Jefferson wrote that Botta (despite his habit of putting unattributed words into the mouths of his speakers), produced a history of the Revolution "with more detail, precision and candor than any writer I have yet met with…Most valuable history of the Revolution up to its date" - Howes.
