This volume contains a mixture of historical essays and lists of soldiers. The data given for the soldiers varies widely; in some cases the soldier's home in Ireland is identified. There is also some mention of Irishmen from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut who served in Rhode Island during the war. The author was Secretary-General of the Irish Historical Society which originally published this volume, and wrote extensively on historical topics involving the Irish. A bibliography of his writings is included. An index of places is included, as well as a separate every-name index.
