American Militia in the Frontier Wars, 1790-1796

Description

This book is a compilation of the records of the state militia organizations which were authorized and paid by the federal government to fight in the Indian Wars from 1790 until 1796, shortly after Anthony Wayne’s legendary victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. More specifically, it is a transcription of the muster rolls and pay rolls of the state militia troops who were paid to protect the frontier or who fought alongside federal troops in the various frontier campaigns. In addition, it contains data on some of the militia troops called out to quell the Whiskey Rebellion, the infamous western Pennsylvania tax revolt of 1784.
