The American Revolution exhibited a varied array of army and navy uniforms. This work presents them, from brass-buttoned British generals to threadbare colonial infantrymen at Valley Forge. Also... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This reviewer has gone through the volume in question in some detail, not only does it contain uniforms of the various nations who participated in the American Revolution, there are passages on small arms, edged weapons, uniform changes, rank badges and regimental and national flags of the nations involved. There are short sketches of major engage- ments and important other events,along with Order- of-Battle for each engagement or event. Finally, a Bibliography, short but informative is included. Overall I would rate this work as excellent. I have only one very minor quible, the uniform drawings are small, the color reproduction and detail very good, but I wish they were in a larger format.
