SUMMARY:An “Unsurpassed Soldiery” - The Delaware Regiment During the A
 merican Revolution
DESCRIPTION:During the American Revolution\, the Delaware Regiment est
 ablished a record for military discipline\, efficiency\, and dependabi
 lity on the battlefield. The regiment’s characteristics and prowess in
  combat in many ways reflect developments within the Continental Army 
 as that force became the professionalized military organization Washin
 gton sought to create during the course of the war.\n\nWhile the conto
 urs of this regiment’s battle history are generally well-known\, other
  aspects of its history are not. Complex questions\, such as who were 
 the men that composed the enlisted ranks\, who were the officers and w
 here did they come from\, how were the soldiers trained\, were there A
 frican-Americans\, Indians\, and women present\, how did these change 
 over time (if they did at all)\, and how did Delaware veterans fare af
 ter the war\, remain unanswered.\n\nEmploying a deep social history ap
 proach\, ongoing research is attempting to answer those and other ques
 tions about the regiment’s history. This presentation will offer some 
 of the findings of this study\, and will describe some of the distinct
 ive features of the Delaware Regiment and its service during America’s
  war for independence.\n\nPresented by Chuck Fithian
