Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rolls of the Soldiers in the Revolutionary War, 1775 to 1783 Of this volume 385 pages are taken up with the rolls, and 156 more with other papers. Other sources have been the Henry Stevens papers in possession of the State of New York, with other documents in the archives of the same State; volume XV of the Archives of the State of New York; New York in the Revolution and the Supplement to this work also the New Hamp shire Rolls (4 vols), and three volumes compiled since the publication of the Rolls by General George C. Gilmore of Manchester, N. H. The derivation of still other material is indicated in connection with the documents used. While duplicate rolls have been rejected, a few have been in cluded which supply but little additional information, in the belief that it is better to err on the side of fullness than to omit anything which could add to our detailed knowledge of the men and events of the Revolution.
