Full title: Journal of Captain Pausch, Chief of the Hanau Artillery During the Burgoyne Campaign. Published in Albany, New York by Joel Munsells Sons in 1886. First edition. 185pp.

Georg Pausch (about 1740 – 1795 or 1796) was  the chief of the Hesse-Hanau artillery in the Burgoyne campaign. We have the first edition of his journal, which was  found in the late 19th century in the state library at Cassel. It is among the most valuable of the accounts of the German troops in the British service during the Revolution War, with detailed descriptions of the difficulties that the Hessians experienced in passing through the countries on the lower Rhine and the Netherlands to the seaboard. It details the fate and fortune of Pausch and his men from May 1776, when they left Hanau, to the close of Burgoyne's last battle in October 1777.
