For Virginia and for Independence - Twenty-Eight Revolutionary War Soldiers from the Old Dominion (Paperback)

The phrase "American Revolutionary War Hero" usually brings to mind George Washington, John Paul Jones and other famous officers. Heroes, however, existed throughout the ranks during the Revolution, and many made their marks without ever receiving proper recognition. These portraits of 28 Virginia Revolutionary soldiers expand the historical record of those who have earned the appellation of hero. Whether as infantryman, cavalryman, marine, militiaman, spy, frontier fighter or staffer, all performed with distinction that contributed to victory. Here are a strongman who performed superhuman feats during battle; a woman who fought as a soldier; and a militiaman who sounded an alarm. Some gave their lives, others were terribly wounded, but all demonstrated heroism beyond the call of duty and deserve to have their stories told.
