Mrs. McCall's roster of Georgia soldiers in the Revolution was compiled over many years. The work as a whole is cumulative, with only slight, albeit significant, differences in the kinds of information which may be found in one volume versus another. This volume (Volume III) is the longest of the work and contains records of officers and soldiers. The majority of the entries are for Georgia officers and soldiers, although some material relates to other states. Clearfield Company also publishes Volumes I and II of this monumental work. Volume I ocontains the records of hundreds of Revolutionary War soldiers and officers of Georgia, with genealogies of their families, and lists of soldiers buried in Georgia whose graves have been located. The arrangement of Volume II is similar; however, it contains records of officers and soldiers not only from Georgia but also from other states, many of whose descendants later came to Georgia because of liberal land grants. This is an extremely rich work, covering several thousand Revolutionary soldiers and referring to as many as 20,000 persons overall, each of whom is easily found in the name index at the back of each volume.

Even though Georgia did not furnish a large body of troops to the Revolutionary struggle, it did acquire a vast number of veterans filing for Bounty Land Grants from other states. The reason for this is that it was the youngest of the English colonies with vast amounts of land but a scant population, located on the remote southern frontier. These bounty grants were issued after the war as payment for service rendered and to promote settlement in this the youngest of the colonies.

Excerpt from Georgia's Roster of the Revolution: Containing a List of the State's Defenders; Officers and Men; Soldiers and Sailors; Partisans and Regulars; Whether Enlisted From Georgia or Settled in Georgia After the Close of Hostilities After the lapse of more than a century, the difficulty of compiling a Roster of Georgia troops in the Revolution can be readily imagined. Much of the information which an earlier period might have furnished is now unhappily beyond our reach. Many important records tare been lost. To compile an exhaustive roster, therefore, is humanly impossible. The utmost at which we can aim is an approximate degree of accuracy, within the limits of meager details; and to place before the public all the data which, at this late hour, can be obtained from official sources. Georgia did not furnish a large body of troops to the Revolutionary struggle. She was the youngest of the English colonies, and, with only a scant population, was situated on the remote southern frontier. Nevertheless, the Georgia contingent gave a good account of itself, whether in the Continental Army or in the Home Guard, whether in overthrowing Toryism or in expelling British Regulars. At the close of hostilities with England, she rewarded her brave defenders with substantial grants of land. To encourage the rapid settlement of her territory, by the best class of immigrants, she offered handsome inducements to the veterans of independence; and thousands, availing themselves of this offer, took the mountain trails which led to Georgia. Two large counties - Franklin and Washington - carved out of lands, then recently acquired from the Indians, were subdivided among the new comers, a large percentage of whom were soldiers from other States - compatriots and comrades-in-arms of the great Washington. The grants made to these soldiers were called bounties. Thus it came to pass that, while the contributions of Georgia to the army of independence were numerically small, she acquired a vast body of veterans who here found permanent homes; and today there is hardly a State in the Union whose soil in richer in Revolutionary dust. The earlier land grants were in the nature of Head-Rights. These in time were superceded by grants made under the old Lottery System. Elsewhere, in an article written by the late Secretary of State, Hon. Philip Cook, the differences between the two methods of distributing land, are fully explained. Records still exist in the Capitol showing, in many instances at least, to whom these lands were deeded. Certificates from superior officers attesting the fidelity of men under them are still preserved; and from sources of information like these the roster has been obtained. Other helpful sources have been the Pension Rolls of the United States Government, the records of the Federal War Department, and the reports of the Smithsonian Institution. It is the aim of this roster to Include within Its survey not only all Georgians who enlisted in the struggle for independence, during the seven years of its continuance, but also all soldiers from other States who settled in Georgia subsequent thereto. Too much credit, in the preparation of this work, cannot be given to help received from others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
