This work contains the more significant part of a wider journal kept by the Hessian Jager Corps during the American Revolutionary War - a corps forming part of the German mercenary troops employed by the British. It is particularly interesting for its first-hand account of the jagers’ involvement in the Philadelphia campaign, the occupation of Philadelphia, and the subsequent withdrawal across New Jersey to New York. Besides an English translation, the German text is provided.
