Some slight wear to dust jacket edges. Hard cover book from a non smoking home. Binding is intact and secure. Interior pages are clean and intact with no rips or creases. Benjamin Gilbert joined the American Army as a teen age private in 1775 and served until wars end in 1783, earning the rank of lieutenant. His letters home 1780-83 document his feelings about the war in a cause that left him exhausted and discouraged, how he survived deprivation and disease and combat, no pay and little supplies in a struggle that long ago ceased to be glorious.
