This review is from: Rhode Island in the Colonial Wars A List of Rhode Island Soldiers and Sailors in King George's War, 1740-1748, and A List of Rhode Island Soldiers and Sailors in the Old French & Indian War, 1755-1762 (GW 945) (Paperback)

Rhode Island in the Colonial Wars has a brief history of the King George's War (1740-1748) and the Old French & Indian War (1755-1762). A majority of the book consists of lists of Rhode Island men who served in these two conflicts. The book has limited notations for each soldier/sailor listing units and period served. This book would be useful for genealogists searching for information about early Rhode Island military men.
