Excerpt from Journal of Solomon Nash: A Soldier of the Revolution, 1776-1777, Now First Printed From the Original Manuscript, With an Introduction and Notes

The original Journal, of which the following is an exact copy, was purchased from a collector of Autographs, about two years ago. Being a daily record of passing events, noted at the time by one who participated in them, it is deemed worthy of publication, not so much from its own intrinsic value, as from the fact of its being cotemporary with the period, and therefore, of use in corroborating other and more minute and extensive authorities.

Of the Author of the Journal, we have been able to ascertain nothing, further than that he was a resident of Abington, Mass., where he had relatives.
