| Abstract | On December 26, 1776, 1st Lieutenant Andreas Wiederhold of the Fusilier Regiment von Knyphausen of Hesse-Cassel found himself in the first action of the Battle of Trenton. Two days later he recorded the events of the day in his Tagebuch (diary) that he had begun keeping the previous October. It is one of the liveliest of the surviving Hessian diaries and one of the most interesting eyewitness accounts of the Revolution. The Tagebuch was published in 1901 in Americana Germanica, Vol. IV, No. I, from which these extracts have been translated by Ralph S. Walker. |
