Book Synopsis An Eyewitness Account of the American Revolution and New England Life by : J. F. Wasmus
Book excerpt: This book presents the English translation of the journal of J.F. Wasmus, a German doctor who fought for the British in the American Revolution. Wasmus served in a German regiment under General Burgoyne and witnessed many key battles. Later, after being taken prisoner, he was ordered to live with a farmer's family in Brimfield, Massachusetts, and encouraged to work in his profession. His journal offers first-hand accounts of military affairs such as the Battle of Bennington, as well as detailed observations of the climate, geography, and societal customs of New England and New York.
