American military history began with the establishment of the Virginia colonial militia in the seventeenth century. Although ill-trained, it was the colony's only defense against Indian attacks and invasion by hostile powers. The records left are fragmentary and scattered, and it has always been hard to locate them and make them accessible. With the publication of this work that problem is now behind us. From research based on county court minutes and orders, bounty land applications and warrants, records of courts martial, county militia rosters, Hening's Statutes at Large, the Draper manuscripts, and manuscripts in the Public Record Office in London, we now have an authoritative register of Virginia's colonial soldiers. And it is not merely a dry catalogue of names and dates, for included are the military's "size" rolls which routinely give the soldier's place of birth, age, residence, occupation, and physical description. And sometimes this was made even more informative when the enlisting officer recorded his impressions of the soldier! Little is known of the ordinary people of colonial Virginia for they left no diaries or journals, but now we have the rare privilege of coming almost face to face with them in this remarkable book.

Darwin F. Concon

Excellent resource material for early colonial America and Genealogy.

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

I do a great deal of investigation and research regarding early colonial history and this is just one of those must have reference books to have in your collection. Particularly if you are also into genealogy and you have ancestors from Virginia, then you need this book since every able bodied male was expected to serve in the militia during that era. Not all militia documents have survived the years but this book does have the information from those documents which have survived at its printing.

Book was dirty

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is the information I was looking for, although the book was a little dirty and the back cover has creases from a fold the book must have had.
Definitely could have been better!

Completely rewrites history without any intent of doing so.

Completely rewrites history without any intent of doing so. I never knew there were so many British soldiers of color hailing from a wide range of European countries.
