The Red Prior's Legacy by Alfred H. [Illustrated By Henry Pitz] Bill

THe story of a young man who traveled from America to France during the time of the French Revolution to retrieve his father's legacy. The book deals with Henri's travails traveling within France and trying to determine who is friend and who is foe. I believe this was probably a YA book, but there was no such thing in 1929, when this book was published.

New Jersey and The Revolutionary War by Professor Alfred Bill

Pretty straight ahead readable history of NJ during the revolution. Historiography might be a bit outdated as it was first published in the early 60s.
