<p>The original diary of Dr. Uzal Johnson, Surgeon to the command of Major Patrick Ferguson, has been housed for years in the manuscript collection of Princeton University, rarely seen by historians. Now, for the first time, the diary has been edited and published. Johnson, a native of New Jersey, details his service and experiences in the Carolinas from 5 March 1780 to 2 March 1781. He gives day by day accounts of the movements of Ferguson's American Volunteers, including clarifying details about the Battle of Kings Mountain. The doctor's experiences as a prisoner of the Patriots is an unique experience of the War for American Independence. The result of inter-twining Johnson's diary entries and scholarly research by the editor is a lively and entertaining eyewitness account of a specific phase of the British invasion of the Carolinas. The book is required reading for anyone interested in the American Revolution. $34.95, +$3.50 p&p. Scotia-Hibernia Press, 519 Batchelor Drive, Blacksburg, S.C. 39702.</p>
