Our focus here is on primary accounts of selected skirmishes and battles in North and Central America, the areas of service for Loyalist troops. These accounts, from both British and Rebel sources, provide a glimpse into 18th Century warfare and the hard fought actions that made up the war.
While casualties suffered in the war were mild compared to the slaughter of the 19th Century American Civil War, each one affected some family very personally, and attrition slowly produced the consolidation of one Loyalist regiment after another.
Following is an index, arranged by date, to the materials we currently have on-line. We will be changing or adding to these accounts on an ongoing basis, so please stop back from time to time.
