"Documents the journey of Nicholas Cresswell from England, as an aspiring young man, to Colonial America to make his fortune in farming. His journal starts in the days just prior to leaving (1774) on his journey and documents amazing experiences from the war, slavery in both America and Barbados, as well as Indian territories, sicknesses, food, and colonial ways of life, and then back to England (1777)." --Internet Archive
