Review by Andy Saunders Of

Continental Infantryman of the American Revolution

Osprey publishing Warrior 68

Written by John Milsop with illustrations by Steve Noon

ISBN 1-84176-586-4

This book is the latest addition to the warrior series and gives a good history of the daily life of service in the continental army.

  I had eagerly awaited the release of this book as it is currently a period I have been devoting a lot of my time to and have found researching this period to be a difficult affair even with the information super highway at my finger tips.

  The book is excellently laid out with a concise chronology of the events that occurred during the revolutionary years in America.

  The book sits along side the other previous releases in the men at arms series but has a more in depth view of the soldier’s daily life and the trials and tribulations there in.

  It deals with the evolution of the fledgling continental army into a complete military fighting force.

  There are some nice illustrations within the book with the usual descriptive plate commentary section.

 This book is a must have for anyone researching this period, it is a good source of inspiration for the painter and gamer, and nicely adds to those already in the ranges for the American revolution.
