Researcher's take on Mr. Rankin's "NC Continentals"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
It is not often that I write reviews but felt it necessary to share what I know about this book - I've read it several times. If you are interested in American Revolution history or the role of NC in the American Revolution or in the movements of a particular NC regiment, Mr. Rankin's work is a must have. I have read the section on Valley Forge, Charlestown and Eutaw Springs several times and often go back to it to aide in research of my NC ancestors. Well written. I recommend this book and thank Mr. Rankin for writing it.
Great reference and point of departure

This is a great history of NC & the Revolutionary War, not just the NC Continentasls as the tilte implies. Its valuable for researchers of the era in NC, as Rankin's work is based solidly in the archives. It should be noted however that this is a MILITARY study almost exclusively, and has very little to say about the social aspects of the war in NC.
