2023-01-12 17:11:43 +0000 UTCOne thing I noted about Cresswell's journal as I read through some...he gets very sick. A lot. Like feeling near death sick. I wonder how often this happened generally - foodborne illness and flu/cold without meds must have made life quite miserable.

2023-01-11 18:24:17 +0000 UTCWow this is great - I've always wanted to more deeply dive into Nicholas Cresswell's journal! One of my favorite moments is really a non-moment - April 19th, 1775. The day Lexington and Concord happened, the Revolutionary War rather officially starts. But he's off adventuring and wandering through territories, and doesn't find out any of that is going on for a long time. Our modern day is so instant with news, but this guy goes for several weeks unknowing the land he is now in is as war with his homeland. Has no idea one of the most consequential events of his lifetime is unfolding. Being a loyalist, he's pretty much now in enemy territory (but learns early on to keep his loyalist tendencies rather quiet).

2023-01-11 17:08:03 +0000 UTCAmazon has 2 and 4 packs for sale, if you want that Geo Watkins flavor. But making your own is the best way to go :)

2023-01-11 15:23:18 +0000 UTCIt's one of those things that seem like a grind, but might be so very helpful in the future, especially for future generations. I don't think I could do it. Maybe as a video series;)

2023-01-11 00:28:08 +0000 UTCLinda, before she passed my mom wrote a book about growing up during the depression - called "Dancing Between the Raindrops" She wanted to leave a history before she passed on. Mom wrote it using her old journals (her diaries) - Its invaluable and a wonderful keep sake. Mom is still alive and 12-16 years old on those pages. Mom never got down and never considered themselves poor - it was the same for all of her girl friends. They all danced between the raindrops.... We owe so much to the 18th century journal writers too like Mr. Cresswell. God Bless and have a wonderful evening. ---Jon is just the best.

2023-01-11 00:24:41 +0000 UTCI love this idea... I haven't thought about it much but I wish now I had a journal from my grand parents and great grand parents - thank you.

2023-01-11 00:24:13 +0000 UTCFantastic! I love the journaling. Going through each section opens up a ton different things to research and get more information on. Can't wait for more

2023-01-11 00:09:26 +0000 UTCExcellent topic, a great idea to journal life experiences to pass forward to future generations..being a great grand mother really impacts ones' perspective. Remembering my Mothers' stories, Grandmothers' recipies and yes my Great Grandmothers' life stories...thankyou Jon! I will check out Criswells journal.
