Excellent Historical Recount

So very interesting to hear about the Revolutionary War from a man who lived it. A true hero among many.

loved

awesome story definitely written by someone who is not a" author" but a profound story of suffering. although it reads sorta like a diary. the narrator dosent help this as it sounds like he's unenthusiasticly reading a text book in English class Out loud

Great History lesson!!

Happy I was able to take a look at the the actual hardships our countryman went through for us.

A classic!

Wonderful first person account!
Narrator’s mispronunciations we’re irksome (victuals, ague, adjutant, etc,) but otherwise it fit the subject of the story.

In the language and cadence of the 18th century

First hand eye witness report from a soldier wow! Nothing short of time travel could get you closer and proof that people were more driven then and more of them thought alike or there wouldn’t be a USA!
