Nathaniel Goodwin diary and account book, 1780-1781.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50202515

Diary and account book attributed to Nathaniel Goodwin, kept in July 1780 (diary entries), and April - Sept. 1781 (account book). Goodwin notes his experiences with the 4th Plymouth County Militia during the Revolutionary War, including marches to and from various towns, such as Boston, Scituate, and Bridgewater, Mass. Goodwin also notes expenses associated with these marches, including payments from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to officers and tending and feeding the horses, and expenses associated with guarding and escorting militiamen who defected from various regiments. Entries were kept in an interleaved almanac for 1779. Charles Apthorp's signature appears on the front and back covers of the volume; Apthorp's connection to the diary and account book is unclear.
