A good find for refurence on the contiental soldier

I purchased this book a long time ago when I went intellectually wandering through the American revolution. It does justice in describing the american soldier of the revolutionary war. An excellant refurence on his cloths and equipment as well as his life in service. Much better thant the book produced by Osprey.

Worth the price for an overview of the American Rev Soldier

I had hoped that this book would be like one of the OSPREY type on soldiers and uniforms. While it is not like that at all, it is still a good book with a lot of information in it. It is all artists black and white sketchs and those are really done well. The book covers uniforms, buttons, weapons, etc. It's a nice reference to have near by if you are trying to understand the everyday aspects of a soldier's life.

Delighted to find Dr. Wilbur's books in hardback!

I first checked this book out five years back at the locallibrary. All books in Dr. Wilbur's series on early American life areimmensely enjoyable and a work of art in themselves, with painstakingcaligraphy and illustrations. It is plain to see that the author has created a series of books that have informed and entertained generations of Americans, young and old alike. I picked my hardback copy up at the Monticello Visitor Center. I aim to collect every single volume. Dr. Wilbur's books are a must for those interested in living history. END
