Sinossi

This book is a collection of poems by the author, written between the years 1768 and 1794. The verses range from the infamous 'The House of Night', to political commentary such as 'The Midnight Consultations', which fiercely criticises King George. Not only a historical document, the book encapsulates the turbulent emotions of the era surrounding the American Revolution, illuminating the hopes and fears of the fighters and the devastation wrought by war. The author, who fought in the war himself and later served in George Washington's government, vividly narrates the harsh experiences of conflict, the triumphs, and the loss of fellow soldiers, as well as his deep-rooted love for his country.
