This is the first in a series of volumes of transcribed Virginia war records from the Revolutionary War time period. Volume 1 includes complete transcriptions of three of the celebrated Virginia "War Volumes," along with many Virginia petitions from the Revolutionary War era. Since most of these records have never been published, this book will be a valuable addition to the libraries of Virginia genealogists and historians.

Given in memory of Charles Hudson Edge, Laura James Edge, by Eugene Edge III.
