by Harry S. Laver. Hardbound, 336 pages, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". The militia of the nineteenth century was not the atrophied remnant of the Revolution's minutemen, but an ongoing organization that maintained an important presence in American society. Citizen-soldiers participated in their communities by establishing local, regional, and national identies, reinforcing the social hierachy, advancing democratization and party politics, keeping the public peace, encouraging economic activity, and defining concepts of masculinity. The story of their contribution to the transformation of American society in the 19th century.
