[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

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. $85-
