A Brief Account of the Life and Patriotic Services of Jonathan Mix, of New

Description: This book presents a vivid first-hand account of the American Revolutionary War from the perspective of a patriot soldier. The author, a Connecticut native, recounts his experiences fighting for independence, from his early days as a member of the Governor's Foot Guards to his daring exploits as a naval officer. His narrative offers a unique glimpse into the lesser-known aspects of the war, including privateering expeditions and the capture of British supply ships. The author's journey takes him from the battlefields of Lexington and Concord to the shores of the Bahamas and the waters of the English Channel. Along the way, he encounters historical figures like Benedict Arnold and General David Wooster, and participates in significant events such as the raid on Rivington's press and the defense of New Haven against British invasion. Beyond the battlefield, the author's story delves into the personal sacrifices and financial hardships endured by those who fought for American liberty. His struggles with the depreciation of Continental currency and the confiscation of his family's property highlight the often-overlooked consequences of war. This book is a testament to the unwavering spirit and resilience of the individuals who shaped the course of American history. By sharing his experiences, the author sheds light on the human cost of revolution and the enduring legacy of those who fought for a nation's freedom.
