This lecture from the Royal Armouries explores a fascinating historical practice within the Continental Army during the American Revolution: soldiers sharing their personal diaries. It delves into newly discovered evidence suggesting this sharing occurred during specific campaigns, with entries sometimes being copied for months. The speakers, Dr. Krysten Blackstone and Jonathan Jeffries, will examine rare examples to understand the motivations behind this unusual practice and its connection to key campaigns as narrated by the soldiers themselves. The lecture offers insights into unpublished sources and a rarely discussed aspect of military history.
