An ordinary colonial youth marched into extraordinary history, musket smoke in his lungs and uncertainty at every step. A boy in a war. In The Revolutionary services of John Greenwood of Boston and New York, 1775-1783, Isaac J. Greenwood preserves the voice of his ancestor, a teenager who enlisted early and served throughout the fight for independence. This unabridged revolutionary war memoir, drawn directly from Greenwood's own narratives, opens a rare window onto continental army camp life, daily routines, constant movement and the quick decisions that meant survival, shaping a vivid colonial american war narrative told from within the ranks. As a primary source revolutionary war narrative, Greenwood's recollections reveal how events looked from the ground up: a patriot soldier firsthand account of orders given, rumours traded, friendships forged and fears mastered during the 1775 1783 american revolution. Standing at the crossroads of american revolutionary war biography and colonial american war narrative, it enriches boston and new york history and deserves a place beside the most searching george washington era biographies and founding era military history. Accessible yet authoritative, it is invaluable for american history students and for revolutionary war researchers, while still gripping for general readers drawn to true tales of courage and doubt at close quarters. 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.
