"The original research presented here focuses on the experience of the Pennsylvania militia formations established and evolving over the course of the French and Indian War, and during the subsequent years of Pontiacs War, from 1754 to 1765. In particular, the Black Boys Uprising of 1765 in the Conococheague Region of Pennsylvania serves as the index case, the first time American militiamen successfully defeated British regulars by employing adaptive hybrid tactics combined with accurate long-range rifle fires. This event demonstrates the means by which American militia might achieve tactical parity with British regulars." [Clark Summers in his review of the book, https://digitalcommons.salve.edu/dissertations/AAI10982011/]
"As the confederates advance into Pennsylvania during the Gettysburg Campaign, a group of Franklin & Marshall College students follow Robert Nevin, their former professor of Greek, into the army, forming Lancaster County’s only Civil War artillery battery – Independent Battery I, Pennsylvania Light Artillery. Join the men of Independent Battery I as they await the enemy at the Susquehanna River, and at the threatened state capital of Harrisburg. Learn of the experiences in Philadelphia where they expect to quell draft riots, and follow them as they serve at Harpers Ferry in ‘ironclad’ railcars on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and build fortifications on Maryland Heights. March with the men as they are sent to the defenses of Washington DC. Join them as they experience Confederate General Jubal Early’s attack on the city, debate the issues of the 1864 elections, and witness Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, as well as the Grand Review.†[from the publisher]
