HUGH F. RANKIN (1913-1989) taught history at Tulane University, where he was also faculty chair of athletics for many years. He wrote, cowrote, or edited sixteen books, including Rebels and Redcoats: The American Revolution through the Eyes of Those Who Fought and Lived it and Pirates of Colonial North Carolina.
"North Carolina Continentals has stood the test of time. Rankin's insightful commentary about North Carolina's military effort and the political difficulties of supporting Tar Heel soldiers provided a key picture of a Southern state's revolutionary efforts. More importantly, Rankin brought neglected Southern efforts to Revolutionary War studies' front rank." - Lawrence Babits, from the Foreword
