Military Buttons of the American Revolution, by Don Troiani
      There were hundreds of different buttons worn by the military of the American, British, and French forces in the Revolutionary War. Don Troiani, a noted American military artist, presents photographs and comprehensive information about these buttons. It includes the dates of service for all British regiments that served in the United States during the Revolutionary War. The collection gets rather eclectic and varied when he gets to the buttons of the Congressional Forces, but there is more there than you would think. This book is a must for living historians and collectors!

"Identifying the recovered buttons worn during the American Revolution offers valuable insight to verify various locations and the clothing of its many participating units. Don Troiani's new book is a compressive expansion and re-examination of this important research source. I highly recommend it to all students of our war for independence."

The Annotated and Illustrated Journals of Major Robert Rogers, by Timothy J. Todish       Major Robert Rogers of the Rangers is not only one of the most famous men to come out of Colonial America, he is also one of the most fascinating.

To supplement his accounts, numerous annotations have been added by Timothy Todish to give a broader picture of the events described. Most are from eyewitnesses, or at least contemporaries of Rogers.

Wives, Slaves, and Servant Girls: Advertisements for Female Runaways in American Newspapers, 1770–1783, by Don N. Hagist       In an age when individuals could be owned by others, people were lost and found just like other property. Indentured servants and slaves absconded from the custody of their masters, and their value prompted the masters to seek their return. Wives ran from abusive husbands or into the arms of another. Newspapers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries carried large numbers of advertisements offering rewards for the return of runaways or announcing the detention of fugitives. Each ad provided a description of the individual and often included some circumstances of their elopement. The overall effectiveness of these advertisements cannot be measured, but the sheer number of ads suggests they were perceived as useful tools by those who placed them. What could not have been known at the time was the substantial contribution to history that these ads make. The descriptive advertisements provide textual snapshots of thousands of individuals who would otherwise be lost to history, people whose names might not otherwise be recorded. In Wives, Slaves, and Servant Girls: Advertisements for Female Runaways in American Newspapers, 1770–1783,* historian Don N. Hagist focuses on the American Revolutionary period to provide a striking portrait of a substantial but largely forgotten segment of the population. Comprised of four hundred advertisements presented chronologically, the volume provides invaluable descriptions of women’s clothes, footwear, jewelry, physical appearances, education, nationalities, occupations, and other details.       This is a rebranded edition of "Wenches, Wives and Servant Girls: A Selection of Advertisements for Female Runaways in American Newspapers, 1770-1783, by Don N. Hagist which have offered in the past. 256 pages. Softcover. B&W Illustrated $20.00 Shipped in New York State. $22.00
