Place of Publication: Albany

Publisher: Joel Munsell,

Date of Publication: 1877.

Physical Description: iv, [5]-330 p. ; 20 cm.

Notes: First edition, covering only the years 1774-1776, published in Philadelphia by the same editor in 1839.

Summary: From The History Society of Pennsylvania: Christopher Marshall was born in Dublin, Ireland, on November 6, 1709. He was educated in England and sailed to America sometime in the late 1720s. By 1729, he had established a pharmacy shop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His success as a pharmacist and chemist allowed him to retire from business in 1774, but he remained a vital public figure. In 1776, he became a delegate to the Philadelphia Provincial Council, and he was twice appointed to the Continental Committee of Council and Safety. His retirement afforded him the time to keep diaries of public and personal events. He wrote these "remembrances" almost daily from about 1774 to at least 1795. In 1777, Marshall relocated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to improve his health and to avoid the British armies. After hostilities ceased, Marshall moved back to Philadelphia where he died on May 7, 1797.

Subjects: Marshall, Christopher, - 1709-1797.; United States - History - Revolution, 1775-1783 - Personal narratives.; Pennsylvania - History - Revolution, 1775-1783.
