The Book Club at LCGS – A Narrative of a Revolutionary Soldier by Joseph Plumb Martin

Book Overview

Published anonymously in 1830 (and later republished under titles like Private Yankee Doodle), this memoir is one of the most famous, frequently cited, and uniquely grounded first-hand accounts of the American Revolutionary War. Written when Martin was roughly seventy years old, it recounts his experiences as a young, ordinary foot soldier who fought throughout nearly the entire conflict. It is surprisingly readable with moments of humor.

This is an LCGS membership group, although visitors may attend a single session.
