n.p. No City Stated: Privately Published, (1910). First Edition. Very good+ in full, limp, dark brown, leather (Levant Grain) with the title stamped in gilt text on the front board. A small quarto of 9 1/2 by 6 1/4 inches rebacked retaining the majority of the original leather back strip with light wear and rubbing to the edges of the boards, a prior owner's book plate on the front paste down (Library of The Society Of Colonial Wars) with a number of uncut pages in the preliminaries and termination pages. Very uncommon in book form. 105 pages of text and illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of the author at age 36 and a plate of Painter's birthplace and home in West Haven, Connecticut from a photograph. Painter server two short term enlistments with the Continental Army witnessing the Battle of Long Island and the army's escape across the East River to Manhattan. When his enlistment came to an end he went back to his home only to witness the British attack on New Haven. He tired of Army life and went to sea. But his service with various enterprises of privateering and as a mate on board a cargo vessel and eventually a captain of his own vessel netted him three captures by the British and two imprisonments on the British prison hulks. (Gephart, 14145; Kaplan, 4402)
