http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54468241

Papers, 1741 to 1795, of Rev. Oliver Hart include correspondence, diaries, and sermon notes from colonial- and Revolutionary-era Charleston, S.C.; bulk of correspondence is from Oliver Hart to his brother, Colonel Joseph Hart of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, relaying news from South Carolina during the Revolutionary War. After leaving Charleston in 1780, Hart receives a few letters from his wife describing conditions and events in the South Carolina lowcountry. Ten volumes of diaries and journals detail diverse activities in Hart's life; topics discussed include a storm in Charleston harbor in 1761, travels in Virginia and North Carolina, and his tour of the South Carolina upcountry during the initial months of the American Revolution; while in the backcountry, Hart regularly met with Congregational minister William Tennent III (1740-1777), and later officiated at his funeral; throughout his journals, Hart always notes the weather and from what verse he preached a particular sermon; collection includes a listing of sermons notes, verses quoted, and dates delivered.
