Captain Johann is an assistant surgeon who has recently returned from the Mexican War. After being chastised by Army Surgeon General Tom Lawson for criticizing poor camp-sanitation practices, he was sent on an inspection trip to camps along the Oregon Trail where cholera and other diseases were spread by forty-niners. In the early '50s, his 4th Infantry Regiment was sent via Panama to Fort Vancouver where he served with Lieutenant U.S. Grant and Captain George McClellan. Still later, he roamed the gold fields to find a missing brother-in-law and to practice proper medicine among gold seekers who were poorly served by medical charlatans. In the mid-'50s, he returned to Europe, serving with the U.S. Observer Team at the Crimean War where he learned more about sanitation from Florence Nightingale. Finally, he returned to his Hessian hometown where he was again captured by his pursuers who served the Baron Horst von Biebertal.

So begins Hessian Johns new and unpredictable adventure. He acquires Mississippi riverside land neighboring Joseph Davis (older brother of Jefferson Davis), completes his medical training, and is recruited as an army surgeon during the Mexican War of 1847. John soon becomes one of the earliest doctors to challenge the longstanding problem of poor sanitation in military camps and field operations. In the first of a four-book series, a frontier doctor embarks on a coming-of-age journey in the American South before the Civil War and participates in historical events that soon lead the direction of both his career and his life.

This unique diary, written by one of the thirty thousand Hessian troops whose services were sold to George III to suppress the American Revolution, is the most complete and informative primary account of the Revolution from the common soldier's point of view. Johann Conrad Döhla describes not just military activities but also events leading up to the Revolution, American customs, the cities and regions that he visited, and incidents in other parts of the world that affected the war. He also evaluates the important military commanders, giving readers an insight into how the enlisted men felt about their leaders and opponents. Private Döhla crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1777 as a private in the Ansbach-Bayreuth contingent of Hessian mercenaries. His American sojourn began in June 1777 in New York. Then, after several months on Staten Island and Manhatten, the Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments traveled to the thriving seaport of Newport, Rhode Island, where they spent more than a year before the British forces evacuated the area. The Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments returned briefly to the New York New Jersey area before they were sent to reinforce the English command in Virginia. Eventually Döhla participated in the battle of Yorktown—of which he provides a vivid description—before enduring two years as a prisoner of war after Cornwallis's surrender. Bruce E. Burgoyne has provided an accurate translation, helpful notes for scholars and general readers, and an introduction on the Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments and the history of Johann Conrad Döhla and his diary. This first edition of the diary in English will delight all who are interested in the American Revolution and the thirteen original colonies.
