Col. F. F. Cavada who was captured two days before the defeat of the rebel forces at Gettysburg and conveyed to Richmond where he spent one year in the rebel prison known as Libby. Composed of notes and sketches taken while imprisoned, this account was published months after his release. With the impressions of incarceration still fresh in his memory, Lt. Col. Cavada gives us a vivid and detailed record of daily life in Libby. From this book, the reader will gain insight into every aspect of the mundane prison routine including accounts of the sleeping arrangements, cooking, bathing, etc. But much to the author's credit, he dwells not on the long silences and melancholy of prison life, but on the exciting events within the prison which helped to dispel the gloom. The Libby population being composed primarily of officers led, for the most part, to an interest in refined diversions. The prisoners formed a debating club, and many had endeavored to educate themselves with classes in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, fencing, dancing, and military tactics among others. They even published a weekly prison newspaper called the \u003cem\u003eLibby Chronicle\u003c\/em\u003e. There was a prison orchestra, and they had parties which included music and dancing. There were also court martial proceedings, hangings, and diseases such as scurvy and small pox to deal with.

These organizations were comprised of local residents who were frequently called upon to put down Indian attacks or slave uprisings. At the outset of the Revolution, these largely untrained militia regiments were swept into a larger organizational structure and pitted against some of England's finest soldiers. By nothing less than a miracle, the Americans succeeded in defeating troops who were far better trained and outfitted. The county militias continued to play an active role during the War of 1812 and later, when slave uprisings became of grave concern. Many of the men who served in Stafford's militia during the years immediately preceding the War Between the States were willing to fight to defend their soil from a new enemy. By this time, the importance of having well trained soldiers had become obvious. After the war, the Stafford's 45th Regiment was not re-established and faded into obscurity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA substantial collection of Stafford County's militia records are housed at the Library of Virginia in Richmond.

In early 1782, twenty-six year old Lieutenant Colonel Lee commanded a legion of mounted and dismounted dragoons that had just completed a spectacular year of military service in the South. Lee's efforts in 1781, in conjunction with General Greene and the American southern army, resulted in the British loss of most of South Carolina and Georgia. Over the course of 1781, Lee and his legion, often detached from Greene's army, helped screen Greene's desperate retreat to Virginia and then, a few weeks later, captured or destroyed numerous enemy outposts and detachments in South Carolina and Georgia. Lee and his legion played a crucial role in the bloody battles of Guilford Courthouse and Eutaw Springs and the sieges of Augusta and Ninety-Six.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe extraordinary service of Lee and his men in 1781 capped what had already been five years of distinguished military service for Lee. He had reported to General Washington's army as a twenty year old cavalry captain in 1777 and quickly earned a reputation as a bold commander. Lee's daring exploits at Valley Forge, Powles Hook and Springfield, like his extraordinary service in the south, are all chronicled within this book. Readers will undoubtedly conclude that Lee made the right decision when he declined General Washington's invitation in 1778 to join his staff as an aide-de-camp with the assertion that, \"I am wedded to my sword.\" Illustrations, maps, a bibliography and an index to names, places and subjects enhance the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Cecere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2012, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 310 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788453915\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-C5391\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41279470352,"sku":"101-C5391","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-c5391.png?v=1728590337"},{"product_id":"101-s5441","title":"Burials of War of 1812 Veterans in the Commonwealth of Virginia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis publication includes over 4,400 known War of 1812 veteran burials in all Virginia counties and independent cities, including the City of Alexandria which belonged to the District of Columbia during the war period.

With this historic vote, His Majesty's Old Dominion (Virginia) effectively declared its independence from Great Britain. This bold act in the spring of 1776, an act that was inconceivable to most Virginians just twelve months earlier, was the culmination of a decade long dispute between the American colonists and British officials. In hindsight, the separation between Great Britain and her American colonies seemed inevitable, at least Thomas Paine thought so when he wrote in Common Sense that, \"In no instance hath nature made the satellite larger than its primary planet…\" But independence was far from a foregone conclusion prior to 1776 in large part because each of the thirteen American colonies had to individually wrestle with the issue of independence before the Continental Congress could. For a colony like Massachusetts, which experienced military occupation and bloodshed, the decision to support independence came easily and early. Virginia, on the other hand, had a much different experience and thus, its path towards independence was different as well. This book highlights Virginia's path to independence by exploring the key events that occurred in the 1760s and 1770s, events that ultimately led to the 5th Virginia Convention's fateful vote for independence in May 1776.

Six months after the bloodshed of Lexington and Concord (and the inauguration of the Revolutionary War), Virginians had fired their first shots in anger and repulsed a small squadron of British ships bent on burning the town of Hampton. The fighting that occurred in Hampton spread to the James River and Virginia's Southside, where engagements at Kemp's Landing and Great Bridge led to the eventual destruction of Norfolk, Virginia's largest town. Combat continued sporadically into the summer of 1776, but ended in July when Lord Dunmore was driven off Gwynn's Island and abruptly sailed for New York. Dunmore's departure ushered in four years of relative peace in Virginia (except for the settlers on the frontier). Thousands of Virginians continued to fight, but they did so on distant battlefields to the north, south, and west of Virginia. Except for an occasional British raid or frequent engagement on the frontier, Virginia was relatively unscathed by warfare. This changed in 1781 with the arrival of General Benedict Arnold, the notorious traitor and turncoat, and 1,600 British troops. Ten months of nearly continuous warfare commenced with Arnold's arrival, during which British troop levels in the state eventually surpassed 7,000.

Both men commanded provincial units; Washington led Virginians and Mercer, Pennsylvanians. Unlike Washington, however, Mercer was not a native of the American colonies. He fled to Pennsylvania from Scotland in 1746 after the Battle of Culloden (part of an unsuccessful Scottish uprising against King George II). Mercer, who had studied medicine in Scotland, settled in the Pennsylvania frontier to avoid possible arrest for his participation at Culloden. When the French and Indian War erupted nearly a decade later, Mercer's neighbors tapped him to command a company of militia. Mercer quickly rose in the ranks and eventually commanded a battalion of Pennsylvania provincial soldiers as well as the garrison at Fort Pitt (captured Fort Duquesne). After seven years of military service, Mercer was discharged from the Pennsylvania Regiment in 1761 and settled in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He married, raised a family, and established a very successful medical practice. When the decade-long political dispute with Great Britain turned violent in 1775, Virginia's political leaders considered Hugh Mercer for command of one of Virginia's two regiments of regular troops. After two close ballots, the Virginia Convention opted instead to appoint Virginia natives Patrick Henry and William Woodford to command. Mercer was selected a few months later to command the 3rd Virginia Regiment, but six months after his appointment, the Continental Congress elevated him to the rank of Brigadier General in the Continental Army and he left Virginia to assume command of the newly formed Flying Camp in New Jersey. While he served in the northern theatre, Mercer played a critical role in the battles of Trenton and Princeton, two battles that helped save the American army and American independence. Sadly, General Mercer did not live to see the victorious end to America's struggle; he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Princeton in 1777. Congress honored Mercer with a statue that still stands in Fredericksburg and several townships and counties have honored his memory by taking his name.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to chronicle Mercer's life and service and in doing so validate the observation of Major James Wilkinson, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, who wrote that: \"In General Mercer we lost a chief, who for education, experience, talents, disposition, integrity and patriotism, was second to no man but the commander in chief, and was qualified to fill the highest trusts of the country.\" An appendix with a transcript of Mercer's Last Will and Testament, maps, a bibliography, and, an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Cecere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2015, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, index, 200 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788456220\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-C5622\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":22019026616438,"sku":"101-C5622","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-c5622.png?v=1755024947"},{"product_id":"101-c5748","title":"A Good and Valuable Officer: Daniel Morgan in the Revolutionary War","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew soldiers contributed more to America's victory in the Revolutionary War than Daniel Morgan, the rugged rifle commander from Virginia. One of the first to answer the Continental Congress's call for troops in 1775, Morgan led a company of hardy Virginia riflemen to Boston, marching nearly 600 miles in just three weeks. Within a month of his arrival, Morgan and his riflemen joined Colonel Benedict Arnold on an epic march through the wilderness of Maine and Canada to attack the British stronghold of Quebec. When Arnold was wounded in the pre-dawn attack on the fortress city, Morgan stepped forward to command. Alas, the attack on Quebec failed and after eight months of captivity, Morgan was exchanged and back with the American army.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis heroic deeds at Quebec earned him a promotion to colonel and the notice of General Washington, who placed Morgan in command of 500 select riflemen. Morgan and his riflemen performed brilliantly in two fierce battles at Saratoga in the fall of 1777 and, after the American victory there, rejoined General Washington's army at Valley Forge. Morgan was respected throughout the army, but General Washington's failure to select Morgan to lead the newly organized corps of light infantry in 1779 prompted the aggrieved hero of Quebec and Saratoga to resign his commission in protest. Congress refused to accept Morgan's resignation, however, and instead placed him on indefinite furlough. This abruptly ended in 1780 when British success in the South brought Morgan back to the battlefield, this time as a newly promoted brigadier-general. Detached by General Nathanael Greene as an independent command, Morgan attracted the notice of the British in South Carolina, who moved to trap and destroy Morgan and his detachment of light infantry. Instead, the decisive battle of Cowpens was waged and once again Daniel Morgan led his troops to a much needed American victory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSadly, declining health forced Morgan from the field of battle within weeks of his victory at Cowpens and though he attempted to return at Yorktown, he was unable to recover in time. Morgan's absence at Yorktown did nothing to diminish his significant contributions to the American cause, contributions that were recognized by his contemporaries and perhaps best expressed by his minister at Morgan's funeral in 1802: I think we may venture to assert, that [Morgan] has not left another behind him to whom we are so much indebted for our Independence and Liberty.

Habitually without funds, supplies, experienced military leadership, or even a motivated body of men willing to defend their homes, the Virginia Colony struggled desperately to protect its western frontier from Indian incursions and partisan raids meant to wipe out the English presence in the Ohio River and Allegheny Mountain regions and secure a French monopoly on Indian trade.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessor Hayes Baker-Crothers examines the role of the Virginia Colony at the outbreak of war and analyzes Virginia's contributions to the hard-won English victory, hampered for years by the legislative incompetence, military inactivity, and self-interest inherent in the British Colonial system. It is proposed in this text that the root causes of the conflict lay in the colonial rivalries between the British and French empires, and that the nature of the economic rivalry kept the burgesses of Virginia from concentrating on the implementation of an effective wartime strategy until long after the crippling defeat of General Braddock and the increasing frequency of French and Indian attacks deeper and deeper into British territory. Professor Baker-Crothers is quick to illustrate the self-imposed isolation in which Virginia and her neighboring colonies of Maryland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina made their defense against the French and Indian threat, choosing to fend for themselves and hold out for British aid rather than pool their resources and provide for common security.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecial attention is paid by the author to the following: the crippling defeat of Braddock's expedition; the appointment by Parliament of the Earl of Loudoun to be commander-in-chief of North American forces; the political turmoil and military blundering surrounding that appointment; the imposition of more strict military discipline at the request of George Washington; the dynamic leadership of Virginia Governor Francis Fauquier and British Secretary of State William Pitt; the political stalemate in the Maryland legislature over tax monies spent on supplying the militia; the taking of Forts Frontenac and Duquesne; and other notable campaigns of the conflict.

Virginia, the oldest, wealthiest, and most populous of the thirteen colonies was expected to lead, and the \"Old Dominion\" did not disappoint. From the political leadership of Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, George Mason, and Thomas Jefferson to the military leadership of George Washington, Daniel Morgan, and hundreds of officers and men like Captain John Chilton, Virginians rose to the challenge and helped defend American rights and win American independence. It was a Virginian who presided over the First Continental Congress, a Virginian who proclaimed, \"Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death,\" a Virginian who proposed independence for all the colonies, a Virginian who composed the Declaration of Independence, and a Virginian who led the American army in a fight for independence.

This is a fine resource for genealogists and students of the French and Indian War.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdith Mays\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(1999), 2006, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, indices, 418 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780788411311\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e101-M1131\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39287775953014,"sku":"101-M1131","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/101-m1131.png?v=1727798154"},{"product_id":"101-n0386","title":"Soldiers and Sailors of the Eastern Shore of Virginia in the Revolutionary War","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe information in this volume was taken from several of Nottingham's works which related to service in the Revolutionary War: Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors from Accomack County, Virginia and Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors from Northampton County, Virginia: Muster Rolls and Pay Rolls of the Twenty-Seventh Regiment of Virginia Militia, Northampton County 1812. These contained recommendations by the court of persons suitable for officers of the county militia; and the records of commissions from the governor. Of special interest to genealogists are pension applications, which often contain much information on the family of the applicant. Many heirs and descendants are listed. Other persons are named as claimants to be paid for providing supplies and services.
