Mathieu Dumas preceded the army to set up camp on the march to Yorktown. His diary recounts the circumstances of this march in a lively and detailed manner, the communication with the army, his encounters, and the practical difficulties he had to solve. He also provides much information about the logistics of supplying and supporting an army overseas, a topic which is pretty much untreated. His account is filled with descriptions of the natural world through which he passed and of American politics, as well as reflections on the differences between the States and the effects of the war on the American economy.
