Pennsylvania’s Traitors and Criminals During the Revolutionary War

In 1775 the American colonies revolted against British rule. The pre-founding fathers were faced with innumerable problems. Not only did they administer the war through General Washington, they also governed the thirteen colonies which considered themselves autonomous states. This book contains copies of the original minutes of the governing body; the reader can follow the daily problems that beset them. Over 2,200 colonists’ names are included in the index. Their locations at various times can be discovered mainly in the records of auctions of forfeited estates. This is an invaluable source for genealogy minded readers. This book is purchased at the lowest cost through Lulu.com.
