Death Seem'd to Stare

Death Seem'd to Stare marks Joseph Lee Boyle's third book honoring the identities of the heroes of the six-month encampment at Valley Forge in 1777-1778. The core of this book consists of an alphabetical list in excess of 2500 New Hampshire and Rhode Island soldiers abstracted from Revolutionary War muster and payrolls. Each patriot is identified by name rank date and term of enlistment or commission names of regiment and company and a variety of supporting details such as date of furlough or discharge when wounded when and where promoted etc. In support of the abstracts the author has prepared a detailed glossary of terms found in the rosters an explanatory list of locations referred to in the entries and a lengthy up-to-date bibliography.
