Diaries (unidentified) collection, 1760-1855.

Title: Diaries (unidentified) collection, 1760-1855.

This collection of twenty unidentified diaries covers the period 1760 to 1855 and includes several interleaved almanacs. There is a set of six Philadelphia diaries, for the period 1822 to 1830, written by the same person, concerning events in the city, weather records, and sundry "cures." There are diaries written in Boston, Mass., also detailing weather, travels, local records, and court cases. The collection contains a diary kept by a South Carolina plantation owner in 1760, with references to family matters, general musters and Indian troubles during the French and Indian War, as well as financial records of the plantation. Another diary provides many descriptive passages concerning Lake George, N.Y., in 1819, while the diary of a young girl in Worcester, Mass., for the period 1828 to 1832, refers to visits, local records, and town celebrations. The diary of a young female schoolteacher in Andover, Mass., details her teaching jobs and comments on bible passages she's heard preached upon. The 31 December 1854 entry mentions her going to hear "Rev. Antinette Brown" (i.e., Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell (1825-1921)). She comments, in her 20 January 1855 entry, that this is the "25th anniversary of my birthday." There are also two diaries pertaining to the American Revolution: one is a three-page fragment dealing with American troop movements and the capture of an American general near Stamford, Conn., in 1779; the other refers to American and British troop movements near Philadelphia and the arrival of the French fleet in 1778.
