Sally Wister's Journal: A True Narrative- Being a Quaker Maiden's Account of Her Experiences With Officers of the Continental Army, 1777-1778 - Softcover
Synopsis
A Rare Glimpse into life on the Revolutionary Home Front
In September of 1777, the British Army began to occupy the city of Philadelphia at the onset of the Revolutionary War. Sixteen-year-old Sally Wister fled the city for the Pennsylvania countryside along with her Quaker family. Once in safety, Sally began to keep a journal of her experiences for her best friend. Over the following nine months, Sally’s journal charmingly reveals the excitement, fear, and fascination of a teenage girl experiencing the drama of war. From the occasional adventure to a series of flirtations with various officers and soldiers passing by, Sally Wister’s account is a rare and lively perspective of the Revolutionary War home front.

From the Back Cover
In 1775, the British invaded Philadelphia. Sally Wister, a sixteen-year-old girl, was sent to the countryside to avoid harm. During her time there, in order to keep a friend up-to-date, she kept a journal. This lively diary has not been available to the book-buying public in nearly a hundred years, but it is a vital and delightful historical record of a young girl's life during a perilous and all-important time in American history.
