Joseph Plumb Martin is my great grandfather x5. Thank you for giving his journal a voice

The history of our country should be taught in this fashion . The human connection would appeal to children and bring life to the dead past .

Wow. For liberty and freedom. As a Vietnam combat veteran I feel a kinship with Sgt. Martin.

Its so amazing to hear all this history that happened like right outside my doorstep a couple hundred years ago, it's really awesome. makes me just want to go out and explore everything. Tahir townships in town names that are literally 5 to 20 minutes away from me, it's so exciting .

My ancestor was shot at Ramsour Mill. Carried the ball till he past at a ripe old age. Proud

Fascinating account of the everyday life of soldiers who fought in the war. Interesting that the vast majority of it is simply about trying to find food, drink and shelter, with the combat almost an infrequent side show

Take money out of politics, free healthcare for all, no more privately owned prisons, end the war on drug user's and treat addiction as a mental health problem - stop treating users/addicts as criminals, change firearm laws - no one needs a handgun or an assault rifle, they're designed to kill human beings, nothing else.. and so on and so forth, etc etc etc, blah blah blah..

Great book with a good read! Thanks Barry!

This narrator also does a great version of Jack London's "The Road." This is also on KZread.

The part about his broken ankle was something else. JPM was tough as they come. Ugh

A great true story with excellent writing, not bad narration, but I wish the narrator had more contrast in tone to correspond with the occurring events. The reading of the battle scenes should have been more dramatic, ala Dan Carlin's style.

I'd rather it be flat how it is. I think the dramatic reading make it cheesy and cheapen the story

Semper Fi

JPM would be most shocked and surprised to know that the US military was screwing soldiers out of their re-enlistment bonuses while at war 240 yrs later - BREAKING their side of the contract while still holding the soldiers to the letter and spirit of military law with no legal alternatives. I don't know if they ever did get the money OWED them.

51,000 views, (9-21) TBH I'm surprised that many people have "read" this. Myself, it took several (8-9) visits to this video to complete it... I suspect the real number of persons who took the time to review actual history is around 4 or 6 thousand... Hail to the ones who really want to know.

Independence starts at home. Be an independent person -- Be responsible, take care of yourself, govern your own behavior and be the master of your own life. If everyone was willing to do that, we would have 1776 all over again. When people won't govern themselves, they need fat, bloated government systems to do it for them.

I think this book is about he his personal experience with facing the war. Like many of the men who fought he was young and seeking adventure, but I’m sure if he didn’t believe it was being fought for good reasons he wouldn’t have joined. Especially given his initial hesitation to ever become a soldier.
