The American Revolution: Writings from the Pamphlet Debate: Vol. 1, 1764–1772 by John H. Rhodehamel

stanl's review

4.0

First hand accounts written between 1775 and 1783, from participants on both sides. It is quite something to read the words Lord Cornwallis wrote to his commander explaining his defeat at Yorktown, or the words of a common soldier encountering a 12 foot alligator in the middle of a road during a march in South Carolina. With only a general knowledge of the events of our Revolutionary War, this volume gives it some flesh and excitement.
