Hessian hireling proved to be good soldiers in a mechanical sense, but many of them were more interested in booty than in duty.

It's rather hard to tell, I'd say just girls in general.
PS: I can't believe it says that on an AP History Book.
haha i know right! thanks though! =]
Just as a sidenote: Our teacher pointed out the best pun in the book (American Pageant) yesterday: SOmewhere it says "You can't have a funeral without the FUN"
Haha
I seriously believe it's talking about the pillage, loot, or in other words the payment rather than the work.
In the context it goes on to say they were seduced by the promise of land, i.e the booty.

That would make a lot more sense.
I don't have the book with me so I didn't know the context it was in :S
It says "Hessain hirelings proved to be good soldiers in a mechanical sense, but many of them were more interested in boot than in duty. For good reason they were dubbed "Hessian Flies." Seduced by American promises of land, hundreds of them finally deserted and remained in america to become respected citizens.
So they abandonded their duties for (booty) or promises of land in America.
