Slighted Honor: Duels, Courts-Martial, and Resignations in the Virginia Line

Most Continental Army officers were obsessed with rank, honor, and insult. Offended generals caused unending discord by fighting, quitting, and calling for investigations. Author Gabriel Neville explains how Baptists, Methodists, and Lutheran pietists planted the seeds of a new conception of honor. Neville is the author of "The Last Men Standing: The 8th Virginia Regiment in the American Revolution" and the creator of Revolutionary Virginia (Virginia1776.com).
