About this listen

 While much has been written about the American Revolution, our understanding of the everyday private soldiers in the patriot army largely hinges on Washington’s poignant accounts of their struggles at Valley Forge. This insightful 1902 book, penned by a Harvard University librarian, enriches our perspective by weaving together references from numerous primary and secondary sources, painting a vivid portrait of the common soldier’s experiences throughout the war. - Summary by Book Preface and David Wales
