During the period 1775-78, General Washington commanded three separate armies.
There was the New England Army of 1775; the one-year army of the United Colonies, renamed Army of the United States in July 1776; and the forces established by the Continental Congress to serve for three years from January 1777, or for the duration.
In this, the first of two studies by Marko Zlatich (Men-at Arms 290 continues the treatment, covering the period from 1779-83), the systems used by state and Continental authorities to procure clothing materials, the quantities they obtained and the specifications of the uniforms themselves are all examined in detail.
Marko Zlatich lives in Washington, D.C. Having worked for 25 years managing technical information services at the World Bank, he now spends much of his time engaged as an associate researcher with the Division of Armed Forces History at the Smithsonian Institution. He has contributed to a large number of publications and has had many articles published on the American War of Independence.
Peter F Copeland has had a long standing interest in the soldiers and events of the American Revolution. This is his first title for Osprey Publishing.
