For those of you who are researching Brunswick soldiers, you may be interested in reading a wonderful journal by August Wilhelm Du Roi that I recently discovered on-line, entitled Journal of Du Roi the Elder Lieutenant and Adjutant, in the Services of the Duke of Brunswick, 1776-1778, translated from the original German manuscript in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., by Charlotte S. J. Epping University of Pennsylvania (New York: Appleton & Company, 1911). Journal is readable on-line and available free as an e-book. While the journal contains very few names of rank and file soldiers, it does contain wonderful descriptions of the voyage to Canada, observations about Canada and the residents , descriptions of the activities of the Brunswick contingent in Canada and its journey toward Bennington, the names of officers either killed or missing at Bennington, a description of the march of the convention army from Rutland to VA, description and condition of the barracks, etc. Mary Hicks
Mary, What is the URL to the book? But, today well lived - makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
