Proud to present my latest work on the Revolutionary War diary of Englishman Nicholas Cresswell. Cresswell had to navigate the uncertainty of revolution and suspicion of being a Tory with the unlikely assistance of Thomson Mason. https://t.co/8Hupz28wFH

Monday, October 30th, 1775 The people here are ripe for a revolt, nothing but curses and imprecations against England, her Fleets, armies, and friends. The King is publicly cursed and rebellion rears her horrid head. https://t.co/i8eIElhGB2

Friday, October 20th, 1775 Slept very little last night owing to my agitation of mind. To add to my distress, the Moths have eaten two suits of my clothes to pieces. Nothing but War talked of, raising men and making everymilitary preparation. https://t.co/unD8Vr9EBL
