Our original American Revolutionary War Historical Documentary -- on the life, uniforms and drill of the Continental Soldier 1775-1781... An authentic record of the American Soldier of this period. Think of this film as an "Osprey MEN-AT-ARMS" book brought to vivid life.

This film studies the evolution of the American "rabble" from defeats on Long Island in 1776 to triumph with the bayonet at Stony Point, New York three years later. The film analyses the uniforms, drill, camp life, food, weapons, equipment, etc. of the soldiers.

Bringing to life with vivid recreations, sound and editing -- focused living-history documentaries on Rev War battles -- as well as some of the men who led and those who followed and fought with heroism and without regard for themselves - fighting for family, home… love of country and the men standing in line next to them.

For education, entertainment, enlightenment and inspiration. We hope you enjoy and even learn something. Never forget who came before us!

Filmed in 2007, narrator, John Pagano of the 2nd Virginia Regiment and the Corps of Sappers and Miners, explains to viewers that the army of 1779 is much different from the one that first formed in 1775-76. A flashback sequence then takes the audience to August 1776 and the Battle of Long Island. Viewers are placed amongst a party of Americans along the Gowanus Heights as they desperately try to hold their position against the advancing British. The scene is nicely done with a good deal of superb special effects that give a, "Band of Brothers" feel to the footage. The re-enactors in the scene do a good job of acting and convey a sense of real panic when they break and run to the rear.

God I am so nerdy I sat in my chair leaned forward almost not blinking the whole time eyes wide completely shut off from anything around me. History around this type of stuff is so interesting to me I can't imagine if I had never first heard the word "musket" as a kid and looked it up and spent hours watching videos on them before declaring in my mind, "I need one, NOW!"

This is by far one of the best documentary I have seen. The Attention to detail on the manual of arms the dress and to me the men show clothing that tells the story of being in the field. When I do a re-enactment they very seldom get a full washing every stain the small of a camp fire and black powder always bring a smile to my face. I spent 21 years in the Army working my way thur the enlisted ranks funny how some things have not changed training young troops the Discipline of soldiering and being proud of The Profession of arms.

I remember during Army basic training (20 years ago) we were specifically told that the endless close order drill we were learning was a direct descendant of Von Steuben's 'Blue Book' of condensed, easy to learn drill movements. The first two weeks of boot camp were spent primarily on entire days spent on the parade field. When you start marching like soldiers you're mindset begins thinking like one that was stressed endlessly to us. It's remarkable the change in us those first two weeks that comprised 'red phase' where the drill sergeants came down on us hard to instill discipline and military bearing at all times. It was amazing witnessing the change in that intense first 2 weeks when you realize that all of the seeming nonsense did indeed have purpose to it. However I'm not a fan of recent changes that IMHO are softening training up which should be hard given the situations that soldiers can find themselves in.

Von Steuban did take notice he was dealing with a lot of farm boys who knew nothing about drill. He created the doctrine of "economy of movement" which characterizes the main difference between European drill and American drill. You see no unnecessary heal clicking and extra arm swinging when marching.

You had me at buck and ball. Great work. Always love the Continentals. Their stubborn thankless perseverance is the huge reason we are USA today. Win 1 lose 2. But Stayin together was the win. .

LionHeart shares fantastic historical films, many with educational values without being the "dry" boring style of presentation. These are all classy films, several from network TV when it was not considered a "sin" to be "patriotic" for our country. Von Steuben was a Prussian officer who made his way to America..and who volunteered his services to train Mr Washington's army. In those days, what we now consider "drill" was not for show, but were the actual means to move a body of warriors into combat positions. Von Steuben was the man who taught the Americans to be soldiers...and how to come from behind the trees to face an armed opponent in armed combat...face to face. While stationed in Frankfurt Germany on my second permanent party assignment, it was my pleasure to patrol and protect an American housing community named for this great man, Von Steuben...in the capital city from whence the dreaded Hessians had fought against our ancestors in the new Republic.

What blows my mind is that the Prussian king allowed Von Steuben to go there and train them while in Europe monarchies were the majority of national governments. For me this is a blessing from God who foresaw the future of a free country of a people that had their natural rights protected. At least Von Steuben settled in upstate New York, and lived long enough to see it come true. I wonder what the Prussian king thought of America. And I am a naturalized American citizen who was born in Havana,Cuba.

What makes a good soldier? The ability to fire three rounds a minute in any weather. Now that’s soldiering….

I'm German . the english still hate us for it today. because we sent from steuben ..! ok he trained them but the english still beat genral washington. that's why the title should be so .. general washington and the continental army, on the way to glory honor and freedom! von steuben turned farmers into soldiers, a great achievement. but then to lead this army to victory .... incredibly difficult task. May General Washington rest in peace. He is the true father of the United States ....greets from germany
