Hard Cover. Yes. First. First printing. Cloth, 188 pps. with folding map at rear of Canada and the northern American colonies in 1777. The diary, here publsihed for the first time from a family manuscript, of a young Englishman who in the British Army and embarked for Canada with his regiment in 1776. He served with Burgoyne and the diary proper begins in September 1777 when he was taken prisoner--he was on parole for four years during which time he traveled in the new United States, finding himself in New York in 1778 (of which he gives a careful description). He eventually returned to England with a group of invalids and in 1783 went to France. He was there for the peace treaty of Paris in 1784 and later returned to Canada at which point the journal contains much interesting topographical detail as well as some account of the Indians. He didn't make it to the 50 years mentioned in his title---Hughes died of consumption in 1790. Fine in generally fine dust jacket with a hint of sunning to the spine.…
