My Campaigns In America; A Journal Kept By Count William De Deux-Ponts, 1780-81

By Samuel A Green and Samuel Abbott Green

March with the allied army as the war turns. Watch history tighten into days and miles. A soldier writes, day by day. My Campaigns In America brings you the revolutionary war journal of Count William de Deux-Ponts, kept during colonial America 1780-1781 and presented by Samuel A. Green. Part military campaign diary, part eyewitness record, it follows the lived texture of the American Revolution campaigns: encampments, roads, councils, and the hard arithmetic of supply and timing. Read it for the human angle on french troops in america, and for the clarity it lends to the Rochambeau expedition narrative as the alliance moves towards its decisive moment. For anyone seeking Yorktown campaign accounts without hindsight varnish, this primary source collection offers a vivid, grounded view of the eighteenth century United States in motion. Its significance is lasting: not a later retelling, but a contemporaneous record that rewards both casual readers and dedicated researchers. It sits naturally beside Lafayette revolutionary memoirs and other first-hand testimonies, and it remains a dependable history research reference for context, verification, and comparative reading. It also works exceptionally well as classroom primary sources, giving students an authentic voice from the campaign trail while inviting collectors of classic Americana to add a distinctive allied perspective to their shelves. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
