Memoir and letters of Captain W. Glanville Evelyn : of the 4th regiment ("King's Own") from North America, 1774-1776 / ed. and annotated by G.D. Scull.
Based on letters written by an officer in the British 4th Regiment of Foot, known as the King's Own Regiment, this book gives a first-hand account of life in the British Army in the early years of the American Revolutionary War. The King's Own played a crucial role in the early British strategy of 1774-1776 and was instrumental in driving Washington's forces from New York City in the early days of the war. Evelyn's letters give an eyewitness account of the beginning of the American Revolution.
