The journal is likely a hoax, an "embellished, if not a completely fictionalized, diary of a life in the Revolution reconstructed from an antebellum perspective" (Sarah Buck, "An inspired hoax," Long Island historical journal, vol. 7, no. 2, Spring 1995).

Excerpt from Grace Barclay's Diary, or Personal Recollections of the American Revolution The writer of these Letters, and this Diary, was the wife of an officer of the Revolution, and the daughter of a clergyman of the Church of England, who, though endeavoring to main tain the neutral ground (as became one who owed allegiance to the Prince of Peace) in the contest which was then raging, divid ing the hearts of households, whose peace and joy had never before known a cloud, was yet loyal at heart through all trial, temptation, and loss. His daughter's position, as the reader will perceive, was a peculiar and painful one. The journal was written during a long period of separation from her husband. It presents a true picture of her life, and commences with an extract from one of his letters to her. It is full of minute details, which, from their beauty and simplicity.

"PLUNDER, rapine, and violence still go on...It has indeed been at times almost beyond endurance." With her husband away at war, Grace Barclay strives to carry on day-to-day, raising children, caring for a household, and keeping a journal for her husband to read when he gets home. Neighbors are robbed and depredations committed on citizens by British soldiers. One of the most enthralling diaries from America's War of Independence is now available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. From 1875-1883, American colonists fought for independence from their mother country. This is the true story of ordinary citizens during the occupation of Long Island by the British. A wounded British officer is housed in Grace's care against her will. Yet she comes to admire and like the man, and he eventually renounced the war his country has brought to the colonies. She writes of the terrible void and anxiety caused by her husband's absence, and the family members who feel he is fighting for the wrong side. Even her own father cannot forsake his feelings for his homeland of England. All the while, Grace records news of victories and defeats, her admiration for George Washington, and so much more. The death of Nathan Hale, the betrayal of Benedict Arnold, and the execution of Major Andre are all among her jottings. You'll never think about the colonial period in quite the same way after reading GRACE BARCLAY'S DIARY. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Less celebrated than their male counterparts, women have been vital contributors to the arts. Works by women of the colonial era represent treasured accomplishments of American culture and still impress us today, centuries after their creation. The breadth of creative expression is as impressive as the women themselves. In American Colonial Women and Their Art: A Chronological Encyclopedia, Mary Ellen Snodgrass follows the history of creative expression from the early 1600s to the late 1700s. Drawing upon primary sources—such as letters, diaries, travel notes, and journals—this timeline encompasses a wide variety of artistic accomplishment, such as: Stitchery, quilting, and rug hooking Painting, sculpture, and sketches Essays, poems, and other writings Dance, acting, and oratory Musical composition and performance Individual talents highlighted in this volume include miniature portraits by Mary Roberts, pastel likenesses by Henrietta Dering Johnston, stagecraft by Elizabeth Sampson Sullivan Ashbridge, basketry by Namumpum Weetamoo, dance by Mary Stagg, metalwork by blacksmith Elizabeth Hager Pratt, calligraphy by Anna “Anastasia” Thomas Wüster, city planning by Deborah Dunch Moody, poems and essays by Phillis Wheatley, and fabric design by Anne Pogue McGinty. Featuring appendices that list individuals by skill and by state—as well as a glossary that clarifies the parameters of genres—this volume is essential to the study of Colonial women’s art. Resurrecting the efforts of women to record, adorn, and illustrate the spirit of their times, American Colonial Women and Their Art is a valuable resource that will be of interest to students and scholars of gender and women’s studies, art history, and American history.
