Summary "Journal of Dr. Elias Cornelius, a Revolutionary Surgeon" by Elias Cornelius is a historical account written in the early 20th century that recounts the experiences of Dr. Cornelius during the American Revolutionary War. This book serves as both a journal and a biographical sketch, detailing his captivity as a surgeon in British-held New York City from 1777 to 1778. It primarily focuses on the trials and tribulations he faced while imprisoned, providing insights into the harsh realities of war and the medical challenges of the time. In this journal, Dr. Cornelius describes his capture during a scouting mission, where he was taken prisoner and subjected to brutal treatment by British and Hessian soldiers. He narrates his experiences in various prisons, detailing the inhumane conditions he and other prisoners endured, including starvation and physical abuse. Throughout his imprisonment, he remains steadfast in his commitment to the American cause, encountering fellow patriots and engaging in acts of solidarity despite the dire circumstances. His eventual escape and return to the fight for independence highlight themes of courage, sacrifice, and resilience in the face of adversity. The narrative is not only a personal account but also a reflection of the broader struggles of those who fought for American liberty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
