[American Revolution] 1920s Transcript of a Revolutionary War Diary
Fragment.
A typescript of a fragment from the diary of Major William Humphrey,
covering May 12-June 6, 1777. Major Humphrey served in a Rhode Island
regiment during the war, and had gone on Benedict Arnold’s Quebec
expedition during which he was captured and held as a prisoner of war
for 9 months. A journal he kept during that period is in the possession
of the family. A journal he kept during 1775 and 1776 was printed by the
Rhode Island Publications Society as “Rhode Islanders record the
Revolution: the journals of William Humphrey and Zuriel Waterman (1984).
We cannot find any indication that the 1777 period covered in this
fragment has been published anywhere, nor is there any indication in the
typescript who was in possession of the original journal from which it
quotes.
String-bound typescript. 8.5”x5.5”, title page + 11 pages, printed one
side, with some typographic corrections. Minor soil, folded twice.
