Summary
"There is much interesting material on the Hessians and how they came to be auxiliary forces of the British, on the cultural and educational background of their officers, who documented what they saw and thought during the more than seven years they spent in this country, and on the many factors which brought about a change in their attitude toward America and its inhabitants, so that about six thousand of the approximately 30,000 men settled in this country to enjoy the liberty, the attainment of which they were brought over to fight against."
