About this product

Product Information

The Declaration of Independence is barely a year old - and a motley band of farmers and city folk, beggars and gentlemen, makes up the army of a newborn country. Joseph Plumb Martin, once a sixteen-year-old private in the Continental Army of the Revolutionary War, here narrates his true adventures as one of them. With neither horses nor uniforms, little food and less lodging, Martin and his fellows feed off the taste of freedom and warm themselves with only the prospect of independence and the shirts on their backs. Their growling stomachs only sometimes quieted by stale bread and salted horsemeat, Martin and his comrades traverse the mid-Atlantic colonies, from Connecticut over to Pennsylvania and back down through Delaware. Forging most of the path only by foot, these men leave tracks of blood with which the British trace them.

/a Narrative of a Revolutionary Soldier
I bought this book for my twelve year old son because we are studying the Revolutionay War this year. He had read a history book that kept quoting from Joseph Plumb Martin and so he decided he wanted to read the real thing. When I asked him what I should say about it he said, "Tell them I love it! It is a great book!" So there you have it from a twelve year old. It is the only known diary from a soldier during the Revolution that stuck it out clear to the end. It is a great source to hear the War from a soldiers view point instead of from the leaders. You get a clearer understanding hearing from both sides. And how wonderful that a child can read it and understand it and even love it. He doesnt love textbooks like this! It is the real thing.
