The American Revolution was fought by ordinary men and women, yet their names so easily slip into silence. Every name here once marched. In 'Records of the Revolutionary War', W. T. R. Saffell gathers an extraordinary body of american revolution primary sources that illuminate the people, decisions, and sacrifices behind independence. From the parade ground to the prison ship, this classic of colonial america military history opens a direct window into the american revolutionary war era, preserving details that family stories, revolutionary war family history, and local lore often forgot. Structured as a practical revolutionary war records guide, the volume brings together military and financial correspondence of distinguished officers, an extensive continental army officer list, and carefully compiled rolls naming officers and privates with the dates of their commissions and enlistments. It reproduces key general orders of Washington, Lee, and Greene at Germantown and Valley Forge, alongside accounts of revolutionary war prisoners of war and the legislation that shaped revolutionary war pension records, half-pay, commutation, and land grants. Long relied upon for revolutionary war genealogy research and american revolution lineage research, it remains an indispensable american revolution research reference and a cornerstone of any serious revolutionary war reference collection, yet its vivid human detail also rewards casual readers of narrative history and collectors of classic Americana. 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.
