Show detail Hide detail

Series consists of diaries kept by Simeon Perkins from 1766 to 1812. Subjects include political, military, social and business affairs; of particular interest is the situation in Nova Scotia during the American War of Independence, the struggle for the loyalty of what might have become the fourteenth colony. Shortly after the transcription of the diaries in 1914, the originals for 1766-1777 disappeared. A comparison of the originals on microfilm with the typescripts reveals a number of errors and omissions in the transcription.
