Journal of Nicholas Cresswell 1774-1777

This book was really entertaining and interesting to read. I couldn't put it down, I think I finished it within a week. Highly recommend!

We bought this years ago. I recently picked it up to remind myself what it was about and could not put it down. What a fascinating journal! The young man had such a wide range of adventures, from survival in the wilderness to picking up papers from a Mr. Thos Jefferson (signed by John Hancock). The details and perspective in his accounts make for a worthy read.

Interesting how ill prepared he was for north America. He appears to believe he will make money trading but comes out on the short end every time. He seems to have "dined" often with British and rebel officers, and got drunk when ever offered free drink. He had a temporary Indian wife for quite some time before abandoning her somewhere. Overall seems he was a very young man who was ill equipped for frontier living. He was a Tory and makes that clear in his writings. Overall it's an interesting read from someone who experienced life before and during the American Revolution. I recommend this book, it was a good read overall.

Thank you. The book is great
