Paperback. Condizione: New.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. No Jacket. Pamphlet. In the closing days of December 1776, the American colonists must have feared that their bold declaration of independence would soon be only an insignificant, minor event, in the history of English rule in the New World. The remnants of the American army in Pennsylvania, led by General George Washington, were fading away and in a few clays would apparently cease to exist. Across the Delaware River, the English forces had gone into winter quarters and were awaiting the start of a final campaign in the spring of the coming year, when they would crush any remaining American force. Chance had placed a brigade of Hessian hirelings in the most exposed English outpost at Trenton. The commander was a Hessian colonel of demonstrated courage and fighting ability, Johann Gottlieb Rall, hero of White Plains and Fort Washington, battles which had driven the Americans out of the New York area. However, on 26 December the course of history was to take a sharp and sudden change when the two commanders clashed. Washington's army of some 6,000 men crossed the Delaware River in a blinding winter storm and attacked Rall's brigade of about 1,500 men, consisting of three regiments, Lossberg, Knyphausen, and Rall, plus a few jaegers and some English light horse troops. In the fighting which followed the Americans had only a handful of casualties, including James Monroe, later to be the fifth president of the United States. Hessian casualties amounted to about 900 men killed, wounded, and captured, including Colonel Rall, wounded during the battle, who died the same day. The usual description of Washington, which all American school children are taught, is that he was a tall, dominating figure, who overawed everyone with his presence. Likewise, the description of Colonel Rall, as taught in our schools, is that he was a drunken, overbearing, brute of a man, who considered the American soldiers unfit to be called such. It is true that he had a poor opinion of the Americans as fighting men, but in the following pages the reader will find an indication that neither Washington nor Rall were quite what we were taught in school.(1996), 2012, 5.5" x 8.5", paper, 16 pp. [B0661].…

Condizione: As New. Unread book in perfect condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. This unique diary, written by one of the thirty thousand Hessian troops whose services were sold to George III to suppress the American Revolution, is the most complete and informative primary account of the Revolution from the common soldier's point of view. Johann Conrad D hla describes not just military activities but also events leading up to the Revolution, American customs, the cities and regions that he visited, and incidents in other parts of the world that affected the war. He also evaluates the important military commanders, giving readers an insight into how the enlisted men felt about their leaders and opponents. Private D hla crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1777 as a private in the Ansbach-Bayreuth contingent of Hessian mercenaries. His American sojourn began in June 1777 in New York. Then, after several months on Staten Island and Manhatten, the Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments traveled to the thriving seaport of Newport, Rhode Island, where they spent more than a year before the British forces evacuated the area. The Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments returned briefly to the New York New Jersey area before they were sent to reinforce the English command in Virginia. Eventually D hla participated in the battle of Yorktown-of which he provides a vivid description-before enduring two years as a prisoner of war after Cornwallis's surrender. Bruce E. Burgoyne has provided an accurate translation, helpful notes for scholars and general readers, and an introduction on the Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments and the history of Johann Conrad D hla and his diary. This first edition of the diary in English will delight all who are interested in the American Revolution and the thirteen original colonies. Bruce E. Burgoyne, a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, holds a master's degree from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. His military career was spent mostly in military intelligence, with service in the United States Navy, Army, and Air Force. Since retirement, he has spent many years researching the role of the Hessians in the American Revolution and has translated numerous Hessian diaries published by the Johannes Schwalm Association.…
