Lefkowitz is working to change this. Lefkowitz gathered images from artists who were on-site for these pivotal moments in our nation's history. His research in museums and private collections in the United States, Canada, and England spanned years and brought together both professional and amateur artist renditions, including those from British soldiers. With over 60 examples of "eyewitness" artwork, Lefkowitz draws readers into our nation's fight for independence, appealing to those interested in American history and art history alike.
