Lively and curious; possessing a keen eye for detail and a knack for skin-dressing; Private Joseph Whitehouse produced an account that stands as the only surviving record by any army private in the Corps of Discovery expedition. In simple and well-paced sentences he painted full portraits of the unusual group of men he accompanied on one of the greatest adventures in American history. Whitehouse's journal is published here in full for the first time—including entries from a second copy of his journal that extend the narrative for five months beyond previous editions. Although Whitehouse's career after the expedition was checkered and he disappeared after 1817; his vivid eyewitness account will long be remembered.

Reevaluation of Modern WarfareBy Denny HDr Delbruck has offered a valuable assessment of warfare in the modern age from the Renaissance period to Napoleonic warfare. This is the fourth of I believe a set of seven books published under the title 'History of the Art of War'; the first four of which were written by Dr Delbruck and have been translated into English by Walter J Renfroe Jr.Delbruck investigates two strategic approaches to war through his work; that of annihilation of the opposing army and that of economic starvation or the indirect approach. His work investigates the use of these approaches throughout the history of warfare and provides ample examples to prove his point.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
