Memoirs of Major General Riedesel Volume 2. American Revolution. Rare!

This gently used hardback facsimile edition of an important eyewitness account of the American Revolution is long out of print and very hard to find! Major General Riedesel was a Hessian officer who commanded troops under Burgoyne. His memoirs and letters were published in the early 19th century in 2 volumes. This is Volume 2, which commences in 1778 after the disastrous Saratoga Campaign, with Riedesel endeavoring to secure a prisoner exchange for captured German prisoners. A fascinating glimpse into the war from a German perspective. Online vendors offer lower quality versions on a print on demand basis, but it is hard to find a copy that matches this beautiful production! This Ex-Library book appears unused; the binding is tight and pages clean and unmarked. Smoke free home. Ships media mail.
