We are inviting scholars to submit proposals for essays to be included in this anthology. The purpose of this anthology is to publish recent scholarship that makes a new contribution to the historiography of the American Revolution. The collected essays intend to move discussion beyond the current controversy over the composition of the Continental Army to a broader social and cultural analysis of the soldiers - militia and Continentals - who took the field in the Revolutionary Army. The collection will encompass such topics as the roles of women, African Americans, and Indians in the military, and colonials who enlisted in British units. A larger goal of the anthology is to spark additional research by opening new lines of analysis and employing new methodologies that deepen our understanding of the Revolution and revolutionary society. Plans for the anthology have progressed. John Resch and Walter Sargent will be its co-editors. Professor Emeritus John Shy has agreed to write an historiographical introduction of this field in which he was a pioneer. Northern Illinois University Press will publish the book contingent upon approval of its editorial board. Initial responses from potential contributors describe a rich array of pertinent topics that include new research on the Choctaws who fought for the British, popular perceptions in the Southern mind of the Continentals and militia, enlistment motivations of Pennsylvania soldiers, ideologies of common soldiers, demographic analyses of New England soldiers, and issues confronting women displaced by the theatres of the war. We envision an anthology of eight to ten essays, including the introduction and two cited above, that range from 20 to 25 pages of book-length text. The anthology will represent as wide a scope as possible of recent research. We expect the collection to be useful to scholars and suitable for use in graduate seminars and upper division undergraduate courses on Revolutionary America. Therefore we seek essays that will represent the experiences of different regions or colonies, of ethnic groups, and types of communities, e.g. African Americans, Native Americans, women, militia as well as Continental soldiers, and colonials who served with the British. We are requesting a 500 word abstract of the essay you wish to submit for consideration. We request that you submit your proposal for an essay to us by July 30, 2002. We expect to make selections by September 1, 2002, and that the finished essays be submitted by August 1, 2003. To submit proposals, obtain more details, or pose questions about the project, please email John Resch, jpr@cisunix.unh.edu and/or Walter Sargent, sargent@hist.umn.edu. Sincerely, John Resch University of New Hampshire - Manchester Walter Sargent University of Minnesota
