Gist's Additional Continental Regiment
« on: August 19, 2017, 10:08:19 AM »
This is Gist's Additional Continental Regiment. Not much is known about this regiment, other than it was raised in Southern NJ and Maryland. It was supposed to be a "light" regiment and was to include American Indians.
Four Light Infantry companies were called for, but only three were actually raised. Two companies went with the 3 RD MD and the other was assigned to the 11 VA. It appears that at some point, the remains of Grayson's and Foreman's Additional units were both absorbed into Gists Regiment.
They were brigaded in with the Marylander's and fought in the Philly Campaign and at Monmouth, which is where I have depicted them.
I've been to Monmouth numerous times. That part of NJ is full of gentle, rolling fields. In June, the wild grass would be calf high and those white "flowers" are not flowers at all, but weeds that grow everywhere. This is what I think that it would look like at the time of the battle. Just my opinion.

Unfortunately, I am having a tough time picking a suitable flag or flags for Gist.
Any suggestions?
