The Private Soldier Under Washington

Gelesen von David Wales

(4,562 Sterne; 8 Bewertungen)

Much was been written about the American Revolution, but our knowledge of the private solders of the patriot army is confined chiefly to Washington’s description of their sufferings at Valley Forge. This 1902 book by a Harvard University librarian helps to fill in the picture of the common soldier throughout the war by collating references from a great many primary and secondary sources. - Summary by Book Preface and David Wales (4 hr 45 min)
