Bearing Arms for His Majesty

"This outstanding work is strikingly original, covering a new, important topic through exhaustive research in a wide variety of archives in Mexico and Spain. Vinson's ability to weave together his significant findings from archival research with commentary on other scholarship is praiseworthy and not commonly achieved." - John E. Kicza, Washington State University"Complementing Lyle N. McAlister's The "Fuero Militar" in New Spain, 1764-1800 and Christon I. Archer's The Army in Bourbon Mexico, 1760-1810, this volume by Vinson focuses on the participants in the free-colored militia of colonial Mexico. He draws his thorough analysis primarily from exhaustive investigations in Mexican national and regional archives. . . . Detailed tables and appendixes support his quantitative analysis. Upper-division undergraduates and above."--Choice
