Volume VII contains 125 articles about soldiers and military activity from the French and Indian War to the period of the Civil War. Several large articles on the Cherokee Wars (1750's-1780's) contain much information that has never been published. There are seventy articles about the American Revolution and soldiers. They include a list of approximately 100 residents of Burke County who were alleged to be supporters of the British Crown who were summoned to court to answer the charge of "high treason." Do you know about soldiers in the War of 1812 who fought as far north as the Great Lakes and as far south as Andrew Jackson's journey to New Orleans? Did local soldiers participate in the removal of the Cherokee?
Do you know about all of the soldiers who died in the War With Mexico?
The Editor is convinced that many readers will find this to be one of the more interesting and valuable volumes in the series!
