Written by an English clergyman who came to serve as the chaplain in Fort James during the time of Governor Andros, the journal offers a rare first-hand English account of life in the colony. It is a chronicle of sights, sounds, interactions, and experiences, infused with the author's personal observations of the place and its people.
