AbstractRosengarten provides a narrative description and critique of numerous sources on Germans fighting during the American Revolution. More than half of these soldiers, literally sold into service by the princes of various German states, came from Hesse-Cassel and were generally referred to as Hessians. The book also includes general information on German soldiers in the French service, American history from German sources, Benjamin Franklin in Germany, German universities, and Achenwall's observations on North America in 1767.
