Keith Wilbur has skillfully brought to life the day-to-day pleasures and privations enjoyed and endured by the Revolutionary fighting. The text and illustrations combine to present a vivid picture of the Continental soldier as a living man - from the clothes he wore, gear he carried, and personal items he used to the food he cooked, weapons he bore, medical supplies he relied on, and religious beliefs in which he found solace. The book presents an engaging profile of the man who lived, worked, fought, and won a nation's freedom more than two centuries ago. A full index, guide to where illustrated relics may be found, and bibliography complete this all-inclusive reference and reading treasure. |
