Follow the Revolution through its officers. Every name carries a story. Alexander Ray gathers a complete officer roster of continental army officers who served to the end of the war, alongside those killed in battle or who died in service. Built as a military service reference and historical officers directory, this volume traces commissions, service status, and eligibility for commutation pay records and bounty land warrants - the hard-earned promises made in revolutionary war America. For the reader of the american revolution era, it is a stark roll-call of leadership and loss; for researchers, it is a steady compass through early american military records, linking people to places, regiments, and outcomes. Historians, archivists, and reenactors will appreciate its plain documentary force, and casual readers will feel the sweep of the war sharpened by the weight of recorded names. Use it as a genealogy research guide when a surname in a family Bible needs proof, or as a cross-check beside revolutionary war pension records when timelines and spellings refuse to agree. More than a register, it reflects how a new nation measured duty, sacrifice, and compensation, making it an illuminating companion to narrative histories. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike, especially family history researchers who value authoritative documentation and classic Americana on the shelf. Ideal for libraries, studies, and the serious collector.
