"Gage's Instructions" by Henry De Berniere and Thomas Gage is a historical account written in the mid-20th century, reflecting on events during the American Revolutionary War. The book provides a detailed narrative of military reconnaissance missions led by British officers, focusing on strategic observations and interactions with local populations in Massachusetts. The text details the covert missions undertaken by Captain Brown and Ensign D'Berniere as they sketched out roads and gathered intelligence in preparation for military actions against colonial rebels. The narrative captures their experiences as they navigate through various towns, face suspicions from locals, and ultimately document the conditions and supplies in places like Concord. Included are critical accounts of the British troops’ actions during the battles of Lexington and Concord, highlighting the confusion and tension that led to a chaotic retreat back to Boston amidst rebel fire. The accounts serve as both a military report and a personal story, reflecting the challenges faced by British forces during a pivotal moment in American history.
