The Journal and Letters of Samuel Curwen, 1775-1783

By Samuel Curwen

The Journal and Letters of Samuel Curwen, 1775-1783 offers a unique perspective on the American Revolution through the eyes of a Loyalist. Samuel Curwen, a prominent Salem merchant, meticulously recorded his experiences and sentiments during a tumultuous period in American history. Forced into exile in England, Curwen's journal provides a detailed account of his daily life, his interactions with British society, and his unwavering loyalty to the Crown.

This collection of letters and journal entries reveals the personal struggles and intellectual convictions of a man torn between his love for his homeland and his allegiance to the British Empire. Readers will gain insights into the complexities of the Revolution, the social and political climate of the time, and the challenges faced by those who chose to remain loyal to Britain. Curwen's articulate prose and keen observations make this a valuable historical document, shedding light on a less-explored facet of the American Revolution. This volume offers a compelling and nuanced understanding of a pivotal era.
