A propos de cet article

Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), 160 pp. Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with edgewear. From dust jacket: Encyclopedia of Continental Army Units answers. questions which until now have been buried in weighty, scattered, not easily available documents and records in state archives, libraries, collections. Born in the exasperation of a college student who couldn't find the information when he needed it, this reference pulls together the organizational history of each battalion, regiment, and independent corps that served in the Continental Army. It includes specific information on state military forces and certain militia units often confused with Continental organizations. Even tireless researchers, patiently searching archives and histories, might be confused by the records of an inexact era when the same person's name might be spelled Bedel, Beedel, Beetle, and Beedell. and when the 3rd Regiment of Continental Light Dragoons, Baylor's Dragoons, and the Corps of Baylor are found, at last, to refer to the same unit! All such spadework has been done, all facts clarified, in this alphabetized, comprehensive mustering of the rebels that reveals who they were, where they fought, how they were staffed and armed, when they were activated and dissolved. So thorough that it is published under the sponsorship of the Company of Military Historians, The Encyclopedia of Contientnal Army Units gives the offficial and unofficial designations, organizational history, commanding officers, ethnic composition for every unit of the Continental Army for which these facts are known. Discussed in detail are the internal organization of staff departments, infantry, light dragoons, artillery, rangers. Basically a story of names and dates -- not exciting military valor -- still the raising of a standing army by thirteen impoverished rebel states is not without color, ad a true knowledge of military operations during the Revolution requires a certain understanding of the fighting power of the revolutionaries. For one who reads with a perceptive eye, a study of the organization of units can reveal the triumph and tragedy, valor, tenacity, and rivalry involved in the struggle for victory against disheartening odds. A brief organizational history of the continental Army, estimates of its size at various times compared with British forces, extensive bibliographies, and a complete index of commanding officers' names completes this roundup of the rebels that makes a basic contribution to the serious study of the American REvolution.
