America raised three distinct forces to win its revolution: untrained, short-service militiamen; state troops; and the regular Continentals.
The latter were the backbone of the army, providing a disciplined and effective fighting force. Some infantrymen served with Arnold's Lake Champlain fleet as marines, while others fought conventionally in sieges and field battles. This book takes a close look at the Continental infantryman of the period examining all facets of their daily life including recruitment, training, service conditions and combat experiences.
Many armies have saved their nation: the Continentals helped build theirs.
