Synopsis:
Excerpt from Elijah Fisher's Journal While Ion the War for Independence and Continued Two Years After He Came to Maine, 1775-1784
Elijah Flsm's Journal, of which the following pages are a carefully copied transcript, is not, as might be supposed from the author's announcement on the fourth page hereof, made up from memory, but is a consolidation of several diaries which he kept from time to time. The consolidation was made by him in 1784, after he had settled in Sylvester, Canada, now Turner, Maine. The original Revolutionary Journal is in my possession, and is much dilapidated, and some parts hardly legible, but enough re mains to show that he faithfully copied it into his book. In preparing this copy for the press I have aimed at correctness, though I have not always felt sure that I had in all cases found the right word. The orthography I have not changed, nor made cor rections in grammar, or otherwise, preferring to present the simple story of his experiences of nine eventful years, in his own way. It adds the testimony of another to the hardships of those days that tried men's souls.
