No. 136 of only 250 printed.Description: According to the Foreword, "out of the pages of a battered, faded pocket-diary, an unknown soldier of the Revolution steps suddenly before us on March 18, 1776. He does not specify his regiment, but it surely must have been Colonel John Greaton's 24th (Massachusetts) of the Continental Line. We do not know his name or his background, save that he must have been from Massachusetts. There is no way of determining his exact rank, but he was obviously a commissioned officer and very likely a company commander. And we know little more that is specific when he abruptly takes leave of us on May 5, 1776. But this we may say: that he stands, unconsciously self-revealed, as the quietly dedicated American soldier who has appeared, when needed, in every State in the Union and in every Colony before there was a Union."Condition: Good. The binding is tight and sound. The cover shows minor rubbing, bumping, and scratches. The boards are slightly warped. The interior is clean and crisp. Minor erasure on first front-facing endpaper.
