They wrote in fear, fury, love—and treason.
Now, 250 years later, their words return to speak.
Smuggled in boots. Burned in haste. Hidden in cipher.
Lost Letters of the American Revolution reveals the raw, unfiltered voices of those who lived through America's fight for independence. This landmark collection features more than 100 authentic letters drawn from primary sources, offering a rare and deeply personal perspective on the Revolutionary era.

Beyond the famous, readers meet the forgotten—soldiers, mothers, preachers, printers, and runaways. Each letter reveals a world torn by revolution and a voice echoing across centuries.
With vivid editorial notes and contextual insights, historian Elizabeth Winslow brings these voices together into a powerful narrative. These are not summaries or secondhand reports. They are the Revolution as it was lived—dangerous, intimate, and profoundly human.
Experience history through the firsthand words of those who lived it.
