No dust jacket.ISBN: 0788422715 From the Author's Note: "A quick look at the Table of Contents will show that this is not going to be an easy book for the reader to use....No doubt many readers are going to be interested only in a family surname or two, and for them a quick check of the printed index...may meet their needs...Hopefully the reader will excuse a bit of personal history. I first heard about Dunmore's War about 1936 from my grandfather, James Hanson Skidmore...He was born the day Lincoln was shot...So we had two once-young boys, myself and my grandfather, who both learned a bit of family history extending (between us) all the way back to colonial Virginia." From the Introduction: "The definitive history of Dunmore's War has not been written. The present book is not intended as such, but rather is to be taken as an extended footnote to Reuben Gold Thwaites and Louise Phelps Kellogg's Documentary History of Dunmore's War 1774." The war in October 1774 was fought between Virginia militia and Shawnee and Mingo warriors, regarding the Ohio Valley.Also known as the Battle of Point Pleasant or the Battle of Kanawha. The contents include militia rolls, public service claims, appendices, index of names, maps and illustrations.
