Product Description
Joseph Plumb Martin-"Private Yankee Doodle"- recreates as no one else has ever done the daily life of the Revolutionary soldier. He withholds nothing of the hard times: the fright, pain, and death of battle... the grinding agony of marches without rest or sleep... the days of belly-twisting hunger. But he balances these dangers and sufferings with accounts of diversions- hunting, fishing, boxing-of pranks and frolics, and of encounters with an occasional sassy miss. This new edition has been widely hailed as a rediscovered gem of American history.
