| For the past thirty years, historians have paid considerable attention to the individuals who bore arms for the revolutionary cause. Who were they? Where did they come from? Why did they serve, and what happened to them? All of these questions have been central to broadening our understanding of the War for Independence from the vantage of those who actually fought it, and we now know a great deal more about these men and women than we did a generation ago. Caroline Cox's book continues in this vein but adds a remarkable new layer of subtlety and detail to the subject. |
