The Military Journals of Two Private Soldiers 1758-1775

The Military Journals of Two Private Soldiers contains two manuscript Journals, kept by common soldiers, each during a single campaign and written at periods seventeen years apart. One of these soldiers served in a campaign in the French and Indian War, which commenced a hundred years ago; the other soldier assisted in the siege of Boston, by the American army in 1775 and 1776. These journals written by ordinary soldiers give an excellent representation of the life of the average soldier.
