When this volume first was published in 1988, it quickly became a definitive study on the role played by the Virginia militia in defense of both the state and the nation in the Anglo-British conflict.

The author of the volume spent his career with the National Archives and Records Administration in the Old military and Civil Branch Records, where he specialized in early American military records. Since his retirement, Mr. Butler has continued his research in the area of the War of 1812, and with the upcoming bicentennial of the conflict, the product of this expanded research is presented in this new work.

The primary sources of information for this enlarged volume are found among the massive holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC. In addition, materials have been drawn from numerous other state and local archival collections to present a balanced, scholarly account of the Virginia militia and its role in this war.

This book is as complete a guide to the militia units raised in Virginia as records permit.

The book is divided into three parts:

  • Part I describes the organization of the Virginia militia, i.e., its regiments, battalions, and companies, and explains in what manner it was to be called up during an emergency.
  • Part II frames an expanded history of the role played by the Virginia militia during this conflict.
  • Part III, the largest portion, is a county-by-county listing of the units, with the naming of the regimental commanders, company commanders, and the known action and movements of the unit during the war.

The book includes the name of the company or unit commander, not every soldier who served within that unit. Researchers who have secured copies of CMSRs [compiled military service records] from the National Archives or other sources will be able to determine the unit in which a soldier served, where and when that unit operated, and, in most instances, ascertain the soldier's county of origin.

A complete index of unit commanders completes this standard reference work. What is presented here is a distillation of a life's research by the premier scholar in the field of the War of 1812.

Nice entry way table
Size: 8 cube, Size: 8 cube
Great-looking 8 cube organizer with a really nice finish. The color is beautiful, and the top has a slightly matte stain that gives it a clean, modern look without being too shiny. Assembly does take two people at certain points, as you’ll need someone to hold pieces in place while aligning and securing them. Not difficult overall, just easier with an extra set of hands. It’s a bit shorter than a typical entry table, but the width is great and it offers plenty of storage space. Perfect for organizing baskets, shoes, or everyday items while still looking stylish.

Anyone with multiple monitors should buy this
I have been wanting something like this for years. I use three monitors, and keeping them all aligned is impossible. I've considered using tape, but that seems like it would lead to a sticky mess and it would never hold well. I imagined some solution with magnets, but never came up with anything that I thought I could implement myself. As soon as I saw this product, I was ordered two sets. I knew that this was either going to be a revolution, or a huge disappointment. It was not a disappointment. Installation is simple as can be, clean off your monitor back with some alcohol wipes (they should consider including some, would be a nice touch). For my screens, alignment was super easy because they have really square corners so I just stuck my aligners right at the corners and it worked great. For a screen with a curved back or something more geometric you probably want to get the screens in place first, then stick both parts at the same time. Either way, they stuck really well and the pads are flexible so they would work on a curved back just as well as flat. The brackets also have a locking part that allows you to slide them side to side a bit giving you more flexibility in mounting, and then you can lock them down once everything is lined up so they hold nice and firm. I also managed to screw up and put the wrong part on the wrong side, but luckily if you unlock the bracket you can slide the main part off of the adhesive part completely, so I was able to simply swap the two main parts without needing to peel the adhesive part off. It's a well thought out design and I was impressed by just how much flexibility there was in the mounting solution while still allowing for a very easy installation and rigid final setup. The magnets are strong, strong enough that if I needed to move a monitor regularly it would actually be annoying because while you can definitely take these apart they hold way too well to be doing so all the time. These are clearly intended for a permanent installation, without making it overly difficult to take things apart if you have to. If you have to turn a screen often though, such as to show something to a client or make the screen visible from another area of the room, I'm not sure if these will be what you need as they don't just come apart easily. If you want your screens to stay where you put them though, they are awesome! For me, these were perfect, and based on the design I think they should work well for most monitors and most setups. I'm so glad this product exists, it was well worth the money.

I'd give 10 stars if I could
Holy cow! This is it! For YEARS I've been looking for a product that would align the bezels on my monitors. I found this product by scrolling through reels and then found the link to Amazon. The price was steep and I was hesitant, but I took the gamble and I'm so glad I did. Installation is slightly confusing, and you really want to know how this works before you adhere it to any surface. I'll break it down for you: Align your monitors flat next to each other. Attach one side with the adhesive, then snap the other side on with the magnet. Peel that adhesive strip and lay it on your second monitor so that they are even. Repeat for the bottom. Twist the U shape up for the left, down for the right. Adjust your angle and then lock them by putting the U shape back to how it was. That's it. The stability on these simple magnets is excellent. I went from a wobbly mount to locked in and only moving when I want it to. I'm so happy this product exists. That's German engineering for you. 💪💪
