| Summary | "A Study of Army Camp Life during American Revolution" by Mary Hazel Snuff is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a comprehensive examination of the everyday experiences of soldiers during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on their living conditions, daily routines, and the challenges they faced in camp life. Snuff endeavors to present a vivid picture of the private soldier's existence beyond the military operations often highlighted in historical narratives. At the start of the study, the author introduces the context of the American Revolution, illustrating the chaotic initial organization of the continental army following early battles like Lexington and Concord. She discusses the living conditions of soldiers, detailing the makeshift accommodations they often had, ranging from tents to log huts. Snuff emphasizes the disparity between the provisions and expectations set by Congress versus the reality faced by the soldiers, shedding light on their struggles with housing, food supplies, health management, and sanitation in a highly unsanitary environment. This opening lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of various aspects of soldier life, setting the stage for a more detailed examination into additional subjects such as recreation, religion, duties, and discipline in subsequent chapters.
