A Study of Army Camp Life during American Revolution

A Study of Army Camp Life is a description of the lives of soldiers in their camps during the American Revolution using primary documents such as letters, journals, and orderly books from soldiers and orderlies. Excerpt: «The war was on, the Lexington and Concord fray was over, Paul Revere had made his memorable ride, and the young patriots with enthusiasm at white heat were swarming from village and countryside leaving their work and homes. Where they were going they did not know, they were going to fight with little thought of where they were to live or what they were to eat and wear.»
