Title: The American Home Guard
Description: "Since colonial times Americans have used the militia to maintain local order during both war and peacetime. States have intermittently created, maintained, deployed, and disbanded countless militia organizations outside the scope of the better-known National Guard. Barry M. Stentiford tells the story of these militia variously called home guards, State Guard, National Guard Reserve, and State Defense Forces."--BOOK JACKET.
