Virginia in the American Revolution
Virginia's centrally important role in the American Revolution has long been overshadowed by the giants of its own history and by the chauvinism of the Centennial-era northern histories that established the "canon" of Revolutionary history.
This website was created in 2015 to tell to the story of one regiment's contribution to independence, the founding era, and westward expansion. I used it to share my research as I worked on my book The Last Men Standing: The 8th Virginia Regiment in the American Revolution. Though that book is now written, this website will continue as a place to celebrate the service of the men (and women) of that regiment.
Meanwhile, I have created a new website called Revolutionary Virginia. It is live, but visitors will see areas that still need work. My vision is for it to be a place for original work and a site that aggregates the best work on Virginia in the Revolution from other sources. Going forward, most of my work will be posted there. Thanks for reading! Gabe Neville February 23, 2025
