This is a war diary from the American Revolution, first published in 1830 as "A narrative of some of the adventures, dangers, and sufferings of a Revolutionary soldier". It is in the public domain, and has been published under several titles over the past centuries. This book is a primary source referenced many times. From Connecticut, Martin enlisted for a six month hitch in the Continental Army in June 1776, at the age of 15. After completing this term, he spent several months at home, then in June 1777 signed up for the duration. He was not discharged until 1783, having made sergeant by that time. During his time he served in the general infantry, light infantry, and "miners and sappers" (engineering). He arrived just in time for the battle of Long Island, the slow retreat up the Manhattan Island, Kipp's Bay, criss-crossed New Jersey countless times in his seven years, was in Ft. Mifflin during the siege, wintered at Valley Forge, was in the Battle of Monmouth (he never calls it that), spent a large amount of time along the Hudson, was only a few miles away from West Point when Arnold was arrested, and was in the battle of Yorktown. So as you can see, he participated in several of the key battles. This is first and foremost a tale of starvation. Secondly, a tale of hunger and hardship. Third, a tale of deprivation of food, clothing, and shelter. During all of that, these soldiers managed to win a war. With significant details, it is likely the author kept a diary during the war. Some of Martin's tales are hard to believe. They routinely marched 30 miles/ day, and on at least one occasion covered 50 miles. They routinely marched 20 miles/ day on no food. The reader has to wonder if they had a different measure of a mile. Quick google searches show no questions of authenticity or controversy over Martin's text, unlike, say Guy Sajer's war diary. And speaking of measures, he often measures in gill (4 ounces), and rod (16.5 feet). Only 15, in the first couple years Martin experienced more discipline incidents than battles. Although wounded only once (and that a sword wound), he suffered from various injuries and diseases. Martin presents several harrowing tales of near death (e.g. the guy next to him was shot dead). Martin documents well the confusion of war, marching and countermarching, and the sheer chaos of battle. The text reminds us that in most wars, for every famous battle which makes the history books, there are a hundred little scrapes at the platoon or squad level that never make the history books, but are just as important for the men who fought or died in them. Here's a thought experiment. Imagine a 15 year old of 2012 who would give up all his or her cell phones, smart phones, iPhones, iPods, iPads, Xboxes, texting, email, DVDs, CDs, mp3s, Twitter, GPS, Facebook, and march 20 miles/ day, sleep outside, on the ground with the stars for their canopy, on starvation rations, for just 48 hours, much less for years on end. Never mind someone shooting at them. From autumn 1777 to 1783, he was paid only once. So that's one months pay for six years of service. He and his fellow soldiers certainly didn't serve for money; nor for the non-existent rations, uniforms, or quarters. His words are of unashamed patriotism, and the actions of these unpaid, unfed soldiers showed they served for love of country. Residents of New Jersey and New York will recognize many of the names of towns. For example, on his way to or from Red Bank he passed through Mount Holly, Woodbury, and in both directions stopped for the night in "Haddington". Owing to the location, and scarcity of the roads in those days, this was almost certainly present day Haddonfield. I whole-heartedly recommend this text for readers of all ages.
This is probably the only first hand account ever written by a Revolutionary War Soldier and is often mentioned in documentaries about The Revolution. Martin is quite an astute individual, has excellent writing skills, although he admits his spelling and punctuation aren't up to snuff. (Andrew Jackson, whose own spelling was severely criticized, told his critics, "It's a poor damn mind indeed that cannot think of at least two ways to spell any word," thus putting Martin in excellent company.)His accounts of the battles (including the British Surrender at Yorktown), of the civilians he came into contact with, both Tory and Patriot and of what he and his fellow soldiers endured is food for somber thought-- nothing to eat for days at a time, no clothing in the middle of winter except perhaps for shirt tails covering near total nudity, no shelter during horrendous rainstorms and snowstorms, hardly any promises made to the Continental Army being kept by the Continental Congress, were accompanied by a stoicism indicating none of this, with the exception of near and possible starvation, made a difference to the dedicated soldiers fighting, and who would continue to fight, the British foe to the end.And what was extremely interesting was Martin's personal account of briefly meeting George Washington, even though it was only later that he found out who it was he had met and made conversation with.This book belongs on every American's shelf!
I'm not sure if this, or Twelve Years a Slave, is the best book I've ever read, but it's a close call.We learn nothing significant about the Revolutionary War in college history classes. We know nothing about it from popular culture, except for the brief exposure provided by Mel Gibson's The Patriot.This book is the real deal. You'll learn about quartering of troops, the difference between specie and the Continental dollar, Tories, Loyalists, Cowboys and Refugees. You'll learn about warfare, Sappers, Miners, canister, and grape shot. You'll learn about the limits of the human body, vaccinations against small pox, the things you can eat to stay alive, and how it's possible to hike in the snow without shoes, and keep your toes.Eight years is a long time to serve in the military. After reading this you may ask yourself "would I have been a Patriot, or would I have remained a loyal Englishman." I doubt I could do what these men have done.
