The remnants of the American army in Pennsylvania, led by General George Washington, were fading away. Across the Delaware River, the English forces had gone into winter quarters and were awaiting the start of a final campaign in the spring of the coming year, when they would crush any remaining American force. A brigade of Hessian hirelings was stationed at the most exposed English outpost at Trenton; their commander was Hessian colonel Johann Gottlieb Rall, hero of White Plains and Fort Washington. On 26 December, however, the course of history took a sharp and sudden change when the two commanders, Washington and Rall, clashed. Washington's army of 6,000 men crossed the Delaware River in a blinding winter storm and attacked Rall's brigade. In the fighting which followed, the Americans had only a handful of casualties, while Hessian casualties amounted to about 900. The Hessian soldiers kept numerous diaries in which they recorded their impressions of America and Americans, as well as their daily military activity. Here, Mr. Burgoyne has translated some of these documents to provide descriptions and opinions of the senior commanders at Trenton.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese pages are packed with fascinating description and insight concerning these two men. Researchers and history buffs alike will love this chance to \"get to know\" the men behind the history.

To this impressive list he now adds the writings of Lieutenant Friedrich Julius Von Papet, a young Brunswick officer whose journal spans the period from May of 1776 to October of 1783. \"One of the most significant and important effects of the English employment of Hessians during the American Revolutionary War was the retention of English control of Canada. General John Burgoyne had taken most of the [British] military strength from Canada for his command when he marched against the American colonists in 1777. However, even after France entered the war [on the American side], the residents of that former French colony were not strong enough to openly resist the military control exercised by a small English and Hessian command. As a result, England retained Canada under the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTroops from Hesse-Cassel, Waldeck and Ansbach-Bayreuth were sent to Howe's command, as well as some troops from Hesse-Hanau and Anhalt-Zerbst, while troops from Hesse-Hanau, Brunswick and Anhalt-Zerbst provided the forces sent to Canada, together with some troops from Hesse-Cassel which were sent from New York to Canada later in the war. The Brunswick troops, numbering 4,300 men, sailed for America in two divisions, one departing in late March 1776, and the other, including Von Papet, departing on 31 May 1776, two weeks after the start of this journal. Von Papet was one of the Hessians (only 600+ officers and non-commissioned officers) who remained behind in Canada when John Burgoyne began his march against the American colonists in 1777. Though only twenty-one years old, Von Papet was assigned the important position of brigade major. Because he kept a diary throughout his English service (all the way up to his return march to Brunswick), we have a picture of the military, social and cultural life in Canada at that time. As a very young man in a very demanding position, Von Papet records the inner reactions among his superiors with a noteworthy caution and understanding not to let his position cause him harm. As there is a scarcity of information concerning military affairs in Canada during the American Revolution, Von Papet's journal provides much-needed insight into why Canada never became a very large fourteenth American colony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce E.

Therefore, England turned to the continent of Europe and, following a common practice of the time, engaged organized troop units from a number of minor German states. As a result, probably one third of the soldiers sent to America during the period of the Revolutionary War were German auxiliaries from Ansbach-Bayreuth, Anhalt-Zerbst, Brunswick, Hesse-Cassel, Hesse-Hanau, and Waldeck, the so-called \"Hessians\".\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"These men played a major role in every significant military action during the war....The journal and reports written by Captain, later Major, Georg Pausch, commanding the Hesse-Hanau Artillery Company, are among the documents which are absolutely necessary for a comprehensive understanding of what our enemies faced when they marched with General John Burgoyne in 1777.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume contains Pausch's fascinating journal and war reports, in translation.

His account covers Howe's 1777 invasion of New Jersey, the Philadelphia Campaign, the Battle of Red Bank, the Battle of Monmouth, and the 1779 engagements at Stony and Verplanck's Points. In addition to covering the sea voyage to America, this diary includes a rare and possibly unique full account of a return to Europe while the war was still being fought. Feilitsch's diary gives a running account of the daily military life, including reports of activity in other areas and the rumors which circulated in his unit. Like many soldiers before and after the Revolution, Feilitsch fell in love far from home, but his dislike of military life, and of travel on the ocean, made his American adventure one he never wished to repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBefore Feilitsch departed for home, 2nd Lieutenant Christian Friedrich Bartholomai arrived in America in 1779. Bartholomai participated in Sir Henry Clinton's successful expedition against, and capture of, Charleston, South Carolina. His diary reflects a good understanding of the difficulties which England faced in waging a war in America, and he gives a detailed account of the English siege operations used to force the surrender of Charleston. Ultimately, Bartholomai was among the troops of Cornwallis' command who became prisoners after the surrender at Yorktown, and he would await his exchange under a flag of truce. In addition to maps of the New York and Charleston theaters of the war, there are explanatory notes to the text, a list of Ansbach-Bayreuth officers who marched to America, and a partial bibliography.

The Mirbach Regiment was part of the 1st Division of Hesse-Cassel troops which sailed for America in 1776, and it remained in America until the end of the war.

These Hessians represented one-third of all combatants serving the Crown during the American Revolutionary War.

They came as enemies, but many became compatriots and fellow-fighters for freedom and the independence of the United States.
