About This Book

A first-person memoir offers descriptive sketches of colonial New York life before the Revolution, combining personal recollection with observations of landscape and society. It recounts settlement origins and frontier life, interactions and diplomacy with the Five Nations, and the influence of a leading local family on education and manners. The narrative details religion, domestic routines, schooling, agriculture, rural economy, seasonal amusements, and the treatment of servants, alongside accounts of Indian traders and military preparations. Interwoven reflections consider social change, the progress of civilization, and the quiet virtues of private life.
