A tale of two worlds and five centuries describes the founding and chivalrous feats of arms of two historically renowned military units. The Fraternity of St. George or Artillery Guild, later known as the Honourable Artillery Company of London, was founded in 1537 by order of Henry VIII, and are the second oldest military corps in the world. They are affiliated with the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of the Massachusetts, which is the oldest chartered military organization in North America, and the third oldest in the world. The latter was founded by members of the former, who had removed from England to the colonies, and formed and were granted a charter by Governor Winthrop in 1638. Along with famous battles fought by both companies, this volume also describes the arms, uniforms, and personalities of the officers who led each of these storied organizations to glory in arms.
"The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts is the oldest chartered military organization in the western hemisphere and the third oldest in the world. Its members have served in every Massachusetts colonial war and national conflict since its founding in May 1638. In this set of four volumes, published between 1896 and 1901, company historian Roberts covers the rich history of the organization from 1637 to 1888 and provides detailed biographical sketches of all its members in the style of Sibley's Harvard Graduates. Roberts's detailed member service records are an invaluable source of three centuries of military history. Each volume has its own index of names and places" -- Publisher's description.
