Book excerpt: A study of the travel journals of Philadelphia Quaker Jabez Maud Fisher, this book brings to light an important but largely unknown text from the Revolutionary era. Fisher traveled to upstate New York, through parts of Canada, then New England, in the late spring through early fall of 1773. The British colonies of North America were alive with the disquieting voices of rebellion. In keeping with what was apparently a family tradition of keeping journals of their travels, Fisher recorded his observations and escapades in a day journal, leaving a chronicle of life at a very auspicious time in American history. He provides rare observations of pre-Revolutionary times, and his commentary is illuminating and colorful. Illustrations.
