The information in this volume was taken from several of Nottingham's works which related to service in the Revolutionary War: Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors from Accomack County, Virginia and Revolutionary Soldiers and Sailors from Northampton County, Virginia: Muster Rolls and Pay Rolls of the Twenty-Seventh Regiment of Virginia Militia, Northampton County 1812. These contained recommendations by the court of persons suitable for officers of the county militia; and the records of commissions from the governor. Of special interest to genealogists are pension applications, which often contain much information on the family of the applicant. Many heirs and descendants are listed. Other persons are named as claimants to be paid for providing supplies and services. A full name index adds to the value of this work.

The phrase "American Revolutionary War Hero" usually brings to mind George Washington, John Paul Jones and other famous officers. Heroes, however, existed throughout the ranks during the Revolution, and many made their marks without ever receiving proper recognition. These portraits of 28 Virginia Revolutionary soldiers expand the historical record of those who can be called a "hero." Whether as infantryman, cavalryman, marine, militiaman, spy, frontier fighter or staffer, all performed with distinction that contributed to victory. A strongman who performed superhuman feats during battle; a woman who fought as a soldier; a militiaman who sounded a fateful alarm--some gave their lives, others were terribly wounded, but all demonstrated heroism beyond the call of duty.
