Paper Summary:

This paper reviews the book "Ordinary Courage" by Joseph Plumb Martin, a personal account of the author's trials and ordeals as a soldier of the Continental Army during the American Revolution. The book details the life of an average soldier during the years of fighting the revolution from 1776 to 1782.

From the Paper:

"Martin's soldiering potential was observed by his officers, which led him to be selected as a member of the Corps of Sappers and Miners. Even more deserving was his promotion to the rank of Sergeant, quite an achievement for a 20 year old. The Sappers and Miners are analogous to the present day Corps of Engineers. These are the men who lay field obstacles and dig the defensive earthworks; it is thought to be on of the most demanding occupations in the army."
