Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs, and Letters and Journals, of Major General Riedesel, Vol. 1: During His Residence in America; Translated From the Original German of Max Von Eelking
As the historical student will readily believe, I found local tradition, as a general thing, entirely un reliable. By the aid, however, Of the journals and the maps I think I succeeded in all I set out to accomplish, viz to verify tradition when possible to overthrow it when necessary but in every case to put the matter beyond the peradventure of a doubt. The results of my investigations in detail will be found in the notes to the present translation.
This work also contains valuable information in regard to the movements of the Brunswick troops, while residents of America, and affords a clear view of the condition and internal relations Of Canada dur ing the latter part of the revolutionary war - points which have, hitherto, been involved in obscurity.
