Revolutionary Diary
All praise is due to Allah, The most gracious and the most merciful. The magnificent one who taught writing by pen and taught man what he knew not. This book you’re about to read is compilation of poems I’ve written over the years. For me poetry is an outlet, it’s a way of expression. Like other art forms, poetry is not about right or wrong. Poetry is not about what you think or how you feel. It’s about what you believe. Poetry is about what you see and how you see it. When poetry is displayed in this way it’s real, it’s raw, and it’s revolutionizing. My intention for publishing this bool is not to simply captivate the mind of the reader. I want to inspire the reader to become a better version of themselves. My aim is to motivate the reader to become a student of life and a better representation of humanity. I hope my words galvanize you, but to also do whatever you can to make a change within society a whole. My poetry reflects the thoughts of a man determines to be free. Free from confinement, free form injustice, and free from the limitations placed on people like me by those in power. I pray the reader find something in this book they can hold on to. I want the reader to find things they can use to chisel themselves. These are the thoughts a C.A.G.E.D mind form the perspective of man locked away in the dismal crypts of America. In spite of my situation, I still remain confident. I still remain ambitious and dedicated to showing the world how I am. I take time to educate myself so I can educate others, and most of all I remain determined. Against all odds I’ll prevail because in my mid there is no other option. This mentality is what gets me through every day. From me to you: We fought to come into this world and we’ll all have to fight one way or another to survive in it.

The Revolutionary War

Nearly everyone in the U.S. has studied the Revolutionary War. Too often, however, historians of the Revolution focus on the activity of the army without noticing what was taking place inside the army. Making liberal use of diaries and correspondence by the soldiers and their families, Charles P. Neimeyer tells the stories of the men and women who fought for the young country's independence. Sometimes starting off as rag-tag groups of men shooting off their muskets at geese just for the thrill of the sound, the soldiers became more disciplined and focused. The army recruited a significant number of African American soldiers, who fought side by side with whites. Women also fought and served in the army, either masquerading as male soldiers or providing support for army operations in camp and on the march. Suffering through times of numbing cold and starvation where men boiled their shoes for food, the sheer perseverance of the soldiers in the ranks ultimately won the war for independence. Presenting stories from letters and diaries of the men and women of the time, this volume reveals the stories of fear, exhaustion, hard work, grief, and exhilaration of the people in the camps and on the march. Highlights include: ; Recruitment, which included just about any healthy man willing to serve, including immigrants and enemy POWs ; General Washington's attempts to create a model, respectable army ; Attempts at medical treatment, and the ravages of smallpox, which left men dying at makeshift hospitals ; African American soldiers in the War ; Women's contributions to war efforts, whether in disguise as soldiers, or in filling in for husbands killed in battle ; Daily life in the camp: the monotony, the lack of food and supplies, drinking, sleeping in huts and out in the open, games, letter writing and religious observations ; The failure to fairly pay the soldiers as they mustered out of service The book also includes a timeline that puts dates and events in better perspective; a comprehensive, topically arranged bibliography; and a thorough index.
