Rustic Warriors

A useful work...recommended. ~R.P. Gildrie, CHOICE

Eames has added a valuable description of the nature of war that dominated New England for much of the century leading to 1775. ~Richard I. Melvoin, American Journal of American History

The book is made up of a superb introduction and eleven chapters...Eames has produced a book that makes a much-needed contribution to the 'new military history' (which blends social and military history) that will appeal to the motivated students of history who belong to Phi Alpha Theta. ~The Historian

An ambitious and well-researched attempt to understand anew the provincial soldier and the particular circumstances of war on the New England frontier. ~H-Net Reviews

Steven Eames renders a scholarly social history that challenges some views of the provincial soldier...[he] writes clearly, and his narrative is livened with numerous quotes from primary sources. We learn of the provincial soldier from his own words. ~Post Library

Rustic Warrior is an important contribution to the military history of colonial America. ~American Historical Review
