The Journal of Esther Edwards Burr, 1754-1757

Rating:
Summary: A rare portrait
Review: Excellent, detailed study of the life of a colonist in the mid 1750s. Esther is the mother of Aaron Burr. This is the earliest ongoing record of a woman's daily life in the Colonies. Esther's personality and struggle to articulate a separate female indentity in stressful times glow within these pages. A rare portrait of the times.
