You know the generals and the dates, but you have never felt what it was like to stand in the line at Long Island as the redcoats came on. Most Revolutionary War histories stay at the map table. This one goes into the ranks.
Press play and you march with the Delaware Regiment, a real Continental unit, from its first muster through Trenton, Brandywine and Monmouth, into the disaster at Camden and out again at Cowpens and Guilford Courthouse. You follow a small band of documented soldiers and officers, each one a man you will recognize by voice and habit, while the Hessians and British regulars across the field get faces of their own. Ranks, unit sizes and the ground itself are explained as the story moves, so you always know where you are.
By the surrender at Yorktown you will know these men, and an epilogue tells you what became of each of them. Start listening and take your place in the line.
