Details
The perfect event for Independence Day.Despite their contributions in the late period of the American Revolution, the Virginia Line did not garner the same publicity as other units.
What was written down often contained errors or misunderstandings regarding the nature of the battalions and their service.
Consequently, much of that service has been forgotten.
Following the disasters of Charleston and Waxhaws, officers such as Peter Muhlenberg, Nathanael Greene and the Baron de Steuben were left with the difficult task of rebuilding the ranks. This proved to be challenging.
Uniformed in blue jackets and later called “the regiment of Hell-fired-blues of the Virginia Line,” the reformed Continentals would reinforce that name in campaigns such as Cowpens, Guilford Courthouse and Yorktown.
Using primary sources and firsthand accounts, author John Settle gives a voice to those honorable veterans who many have forgotten.
