Title: A Hessian Diary of the American Revolution - Doehla.
Review: This is a translation of a Diary of a Bayreuth soldier of the American Revolution written originally by Johann Conrad Doehla,and translated into English by Bruce E, Burgoyne. This gives aninsight of the lifes of those German auxiliary soldiers who were hired by the British King George III to fight the American rebels. This man went through battles until the end at Yorktown,became a prisoner, and noted down every days happenings. You'llfind the names of many deserting comrades who later served withthe Americans, and settled after the war in the new United States. This Diary in my opinion follows closely in quality the Diary written by the famous Baroness Friederike von Riedesel. In any event, anybody interested in the American Revolution historywill find this book most interesting.
