Records of the Revolutionary War. Third Edition. with Index to Saffell's List of Virginia Soldiers in the Revolution, by J. T. Mcallister, 1913.

Mr. Saffell, a Counsellor and Agent for Revolutionary Claims, prepared this work as a reference source for those researching information on officers and soldiers serving in the Revolutionary War. This book, including the first two editions, was used extensively during the latter-half of the 19th century by historians investigating the different locations and movements of the army, and in showing the whereabouts of individual officers, regiments, detachments, and corps, as well as in giving the precise dates of important events. Moreover, the manuscript, which contains rosters and service records of approximately 15,000 soldiers, proved invaluable for those searching for information on their ancestors. Specifically, this work contains the military and financial correspondence of distinguished officers; names of officers and privates of regiments, companies, and corps, with the dates of their commissions and enlistments; general orders of Washington, Lee and Greene at Germantown and Valley Forge; a list of Distinguished prisoners of war; the time of their capture, exchange, etc.; the Half-Pay Acts of the Continental Congress; the Revolutionary Pension Laws; and a list of the officers of the Continental Army who acquired the right to half-pay, commutation, and lands. Also bound with this book is, the Index to Saffell's List of Virginia Soldiers in the Revolution, by J. T. McAllister, published in 1913, which enhances the utility of the work.
