The Young Rifleman's Comrade may be a translation of the third volume of Maempel's 'Der junger Feldjager.' Edited by Goethe, an edition, says the translator, whose fame is even more extensively European than the adventures of the hero. The hero's adventures take him from Germany through France, Spain, Italy and England. The last part of the volume describes his shipwreck off the African coast near Mauritius, and his adventures before reaching safety. This English translation first appeared in London, 1826. It is attributed to John Kincaid (1787-1862). First American edition. SCARCE. S&S/AI 29614. PAIMP 23
