abstract
  • The son of a noble family of Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel), Donop was well connected in the European courts and served as personal adjutant to the Landgraf of Hesse-Kassel. He served with distinction in the Seven Years' War. When the American Revolution began, Donop asked for leave to serve in America against the revolutionaries. The Landgraf appointed him as commander of four battalions of grenadiers and the prestigious Jäger Corps. A highly ambitious officer, Donop hoped to remain in America after the war to pursue dreams of power and glory. Wearing a veneer of civility and deferential to his superiors, Donop was an able officer but was not well liked by his subordinates. To his inferiors he was short and harsh, and he had a take-no-prisoners policy that was enforced by severe beatings.
