"The Memoirs of Issac Kendall" is a diary of a Revolutionary War soldier serving in Northern Continental Army from January of 1776 to the battles of Saratoga in the autumn of 1777. Kendall's service takes him from his Connecticut home to the wilderness of Lake Champlain and his base at Mount Independence. Here, he experiences the challenges of a soldier of the eighteenth century with disease, deadly accidents, dangerous environs, and a poor diet. Kendall's unit also becomes engaged in British General John Burgoyne's invasion of 1777 and the turning-point battles of Saratoga.
