"The Military Journals of Two Private Soldiers, 1758-1775" by Abraham Tomlinson is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book features firsthand journals kept by two common soldiers during significant military campaigns: one during the French and Indian War and the other during the Siege of Boston in the Revolutionary War. This work aims to provide readers with a vivid portrayal of the everyday experiences and challenges faced by ordinary soldiers in early American wars. At the start of the book, the author introduces the context of the French and Indian War, detailing the territorial disputes between French and English colonists and highlighting pivotal battles such as the one at Ticonderoga. Following this, the narrative shifts to the personal journal of Lemuel Lyon, who chronicles his enlistment, daily march routines, encounters, and camp life through detailed entries. These entries illustrate not only the rigors of military life but also the camaraderie and struggles of soldiers far removed from the glory often associated with war. The opening sets the tone for a unique exploration of historical events through the lens of individual experiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 65.8 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
