The Life of John Kalb, Major-General in the Revolutionary Army is a biography written by Friedrich Kapp. The book tells the story of Johann Kalb, a German-American soldier who fought in the American Revolutionary War. Kalb was born in Bavaria and trained as a soldier in the French army before coming to America to fight for the Continental Army. He quickly rose through the ranks and became a major-general, serving under George Washington. The book covers Kalb's early life in Bavaria, his military training in France, and his experiences in the American Revolution. It details his participation in several key battles, including the Battle of Camden, where he was mortally wounded. The book also explores Kalb's personal life, including his relationships with his wife and children. Kapp's biography draws on a variety of sources, including Kalb's own letters and journals, as well as contemporary accounts of the war. The book provides a detailed and engaging portrait of a little-known figure in American history, shedding light on the experiences of foreign soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War. Overall, The Life of John Kalb, Major-General in the Revolutionary Army is an informative and well-researched biography that will appeal to anyone interested in American history or military history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
