Uniforms of the American, British, French, and German Armies in the War of the American Revolution 1775–1783

Today there is much being published on the American Revolution, both in new books and reprinting of older works. Nowhere is the subject of uniforms used by all armies in this war being issued. The famous Lefferts book is the only book on the subject today. Published in 1926, in a limited edition of five hundred copies, the book was a collector’s item in a short time. Lefferts’ love for historical accuracy and his indefatigable labor, we are enabled to present this collection of uniformed men of the Armies who took part in the War of The American Revolution. For thirty years, Lt. Lefferts devoted almost his full time to this work, searching for the purpose the archives in Great Britain, France, and Germany, and every known source in the United States. Together with his record of uniforms, he also gives complete details to the history of all units, such as states, regiments, Loyalists Regiments raised in America. Each uniform plate, he gives complete history of the unit and colors of the uniform. There are 50 Lefferts' uniform plates in black and white of the uniforms of the Armies. The editors have added one new history section on The Continental Army, with plates and a group of steel engraved plates of famous battles and heroes of The Revolutionary War. No other book today brings such a wealth of information and material on the subject. A must reference book for HISTORIANS, COLLECTORS, MODEL MAKERS, MUSEUMS and LIBRARIES. The book is hardcover, with dust jacket. Charles M.
