This edition presents Elijah Fisher’s journal, a first‑person account of his enlistment in 1775, long service, and travels across New England and New York during the Revolution. It follows his years of care for family back home, his time in Washington’s campaigns, and the later years that shifted him toward life in Maine. Read about daily log entries from the start of enlistments through 1784, including marches, battles, and military life. - See the human side of war: illness, recovery, medical advice, and the strains of long service. - Discover personal milestones, moving between towns, farms, and family ties while the war unfolded. - Get a window into 18th‑century life, work, and lettered memory that preserved these moments for later generations. Ideal for readers of military history, personal narratives, and early American life who want a grounded, day‑to‑day perspective from the era.
