Like his father and grandfather before him, James Lyell was a linen manufacturer in Newburgh, Fife situated on the Firth of Tay. Newburgh's industries consisted of the making of linen and floor cloth, quarrying and salmon fisheries all of which have now long gone. The Lyell family history has had a long association with Newburgh dating back to the early 1700s when Alexander Lyell (1684- ) and Isobel Buist (1691- ) were married there in 1712 and had eight children who were all born and raised there. At least four generations of the family have resided in Newburgh. James most likely learned the trade from his father, George (1752- ), and inherited the business from him upon his death. Lyell met and married Margaret Haggart in 1828 and they had six children who were all born in Newburgh. The family resided on High Street where his shop was located as well. Lyell was elected as a Magistrate of Newburgh Burgh in November of 1842 and eventually rose to be the Chief Magistrate of Newburgh. This then is the narrative of James Lyell, the linen manufacturer of Newburgh.

A Crisis of Peace: George Washington, the Newburgh Conspiracy, and the Fate of the American Revolution

The story of George Washington's first crisis of the fledgling republic: In the war's waning days, the American Revolution neared collapse when Washington's senior officers were rumored to be on the edge of mutiny. On March 15, 1783, General George Washington addressed a group of angry officers in an effort to rescue the American Revolution from mutiny at the highest level.After the British surrender at Yorktown, the American Revolution still blazed on, and as peace was negotiated in Europe, grave problems surfaced at home. The government was broke, paying its debts with loans from France. Political rivalry among the states paralyzed Congress. The army's officers, encamped near Newburgh, New York, and restless without an enemy to fight, brooded over a civilian population seemingly indifferent to their sacrifices.The result was the Newburgh Affair, a mysterious event in which Continental Army officers, disgruntled by a lack of pay and pensions, may have collaborated with nationalist-minded politicians such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Robert Morris to pressure Congress and the states to approve new taxes and strengthen the central government.Fearing what his men might do with their passions inflamed, Washington averted the crisis, but with the nation's problems persisting, the officers ultimately left the army disappointed, their low opinion of their civilian countrymen confirmed.A Crisis of Peace provides a fresh look at the end of the American Revolution while speaking to issues that concern us still: the fragility of civil-military relations, how even victorious wars end ambiguously, and what veterans and civilians owe each other.
