Sobre este artículo
Albany: Joel Munsell's Sons, 1887. viii and 412 pages. Frontispiece portrait of Burgoyne, sketch of the colours of the 53rd. Small 4to. Publisher's diced maroon cloth, bookplate of the 85th Regiment officers mess, no stamps or markings, an excellent copy in the original cloth.
Good account of Burgoyne's campaign. The main body of the 53rd was left to garrison Fort Ticonderoga, but the flank companies went on with Burgoyne, and Digby, who commanded the Grenadier Company, was with the army to the bitter end at Saratoga. This copy has the bookplate of the Officers Mess, 85th King's Light Infantry. The 85th had been linked with the 53rd under the Cardwell reforms to form the new county regiment, the King's Shropshire Light Infantry. The bookplate is mute commentary on the relationship of the two old regiments in the early years of the new regiment. The old 85th, now the 2nd Battalion KSLI, was still using the bookplate which proclaimed its independent identity and yet the officers of the battalion clearly wanted to own literature about the history of the first battalion.
