Hello Hessians; Many times during the existence of this mail list, which is quite a few years, the Journal of Major Baurmeister, translated by Bernhard A. Uhlendorf, has been mentioned as an important source of information. I myself have quoted from it numerous times, and truly, I have always considered it one of the best books telling the Hessian story during the American Revolution. This is why I am a bit surprised to see this book offered on eBay with only two days to go, and only one bid on it so far. I did suspect that not very many of you subscribers (330) are really interested in books, and not willing to pay a fair price for such a gem, and this is one of the reasons why I am so reluctant to put my own good books for sale on eBay, because so many times there is no interest for books on the American Revolution. Just this evening the time had run out on a small book which I had listed on Pensacola, and I had to relist it, again costing me a new listing fee. I am not complaining, just realistically assessing the situation. Cheers, John Merz
