Summary
Lewis Miller was an artist in York, PA. He made sketches of 22 Hessian soldiers who fought for the British during the American revolution and stayed in the York area after its conclusion. The author's book is based on those Hessians. In the introduction, the author states, "The purpose of this paper is to consider the individual soldiers, their families,their lives, and their involvement in the York community in which they settled. What happened to these men after the Revolution ? Why did they choose the communities in which they settled. Were they accepted by the Americans ? Did they experience financial success ? What was the nature of their family life ? Did their families suffer the stigma of having a 'Hessian' patriarch."

Summary
"[Steven Rosswurm] writes a fascinating history of the American Revolution from the perspective of Philadelphia's 'Lower Sort' within the overlapping context of power,class relations, and wartime service in the patriot militia. He posits a transformation in consciousness of the lower sort attributable in large part to the revolutionary experience, a short term politicization of a previously excluded lower class constituency, and an unsuccessful effort to realize a true social revolution within the confines of the political revolt against Great Britain."
