The Journal of Madam Knight

Originally published in 1825, this is - "The diary kept in 1704 by Sarah Kemble Knight on her hazardous journey from Boston to New York and back to Boston on horseback is marked by gusto, good humour, earthiness, and the evidence of keen observation. It is filled with witty comments on the manner of the people Madam Knight encountered, the lack of suitable accommodations, and the geography of early New England."
