Content:
Drawing from military and personal correspondence, journals, orderly books, militia constitutions, and other documents in over 40 archives in 23 states, Ricardo A. Herrera maps five broad, interrelated, and mutually reinforcing threads of thought constituting soldiers' beliefs in the early decades of the American republic: virtue; legitimacy; self-governance; glory, honour and fame; and the national mission. Spanning periods of war and peace, these five themes constituted a coherent and long-lived body of ideas that informed American soldiers' sense of identity for generations.
