Overview

"The Wyoming Military Establishment. A History of the Twenty-fourth Regiment of Connecticut Militia" by Charles Tubbs is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the military history of the Twenty-fourth Regiment, detailing its formation, activities, and significant events during the American Revolutionary War, particularly in the context of the conflicts faced by settlers in the Wyoming Valley region, which had ties to Connecticut prior to being claimed by Pennsylvania. The content of the book revolves around the military establishment of the Twenty-fourth Regiment and its role in defending the Wyoming Valley against various threats, including Native American incursions and rival claims from Pennsylvania. Tubbs provides a comprehensive overview of the regiment's organization, key battles, and notable figures involved, such as Colonel Zebulon Butler. Noteworthy is the dramatic and tragic Wyoming Massacre, where the regiment faced overwhelming forces, leading to substantial losses. Tubbs argues for the importance of the regiment's actions and sacrifices, emphasizing their impact on the broader context of the Revolutionary War and the frontier struggles of the time.
