Pay no mind to people bored by the camps and wish to hear about just the war. As you said they only spent months actually fighting the rest of their time was spend traveling or being in camp. I'm trying to put together camping supplies for a long reenactment so this information is imperative.

Alan Eckart in his works on the 1750's reports how the winter of 1757 was exceedingly brutal.

I grew up in Jersey, I live in Maine. I hear about Morristown during the Revolution, then reflect on Arnold's march on Quebec and think ... 😲😲😲

Having grown up just outside of Morristown, in Chatham, Jockey Hollow saw some of the worst sufferings of the Army….

This is a fabulous look into the lives of the way of life of the participants of the Revolutionary War. It is very interesting! I have been trying to learn something about the lives of enlisted soldiers in the Regular Army in the War with Mexico, before and after. We don't have much information about how things were done back then. There are a few documents that are available for any given soldier, but not much information about what these documents mean and how they were created. For instance, a guy is listed on a Register of Enlisted in Regular Army as having been enlisted in New York, how did he get to Texas? How often were these registers made out? How did they come to be in a crude alphabetical order by last name? They must have been copied over by someone? When a guy enlisted for a period of time, did they fill out a contract? We're they issued uniforms? Did they go through basic training? This type of information would be so helpful. These questions may seem obvious, but at 150 to 200 years later, it is not obvious. Any books or other sources that could be recommended about this type of thing would be greatly appreciated.

Donna, I am currently reading a book by a Revolutionary War soldier by the name of Joseph Plumb Martin titled Memoir of a Revolutionary Soldier. It was written in 1830 when he was 70 years old. It really gives you a feel for what these brave men went through during those difficult years. There is also a book by Benjamin Tallmadge who was the head of the spy ring under George Washington which was also fascinating, especially the sections on his firsthand accounts of Washington. Primary source materials to me are so much more interesting. Hope this helps.

Monotone ‘educated’ man, lacking talent, or Godly passion, narrates a lullaby that brings on heavy eyelids to an audience robbed of the fascinating story of valiant victory in the face of all odds that paved the way of the most powerful, prosperous nation in all of world history.

Couldn't get through this - speaker too verbose. More matter, less art.
