CHAPTER IV
A SEAMAN'S JOURNAL
ONE of the most interesting documents relative to Braddock's expedition is a Journal kept by one of the thirty seamen sent with Braddock by Commodore Keppel. The original manuscript was presented by Colonel Macbean to the Royal Artillery Library, Woolwich, and is first published here.
An expanded version of this document was published in Winthrop Sargent's History of Braddock's Expedition, entitled "The Morris Journal"—so called because it was in the possession of the Rev. Francis-Orpen Morris, Nunburnholme Rectory, Yorkshire, who had published it in pamphlet form.[1] Concerning its authorship Mr.
- ↑ London, Groombridge & Sons, 1854. Mr. Morris, in footnotes, gave what he considered any important variations of the original manuscript from the expanded version he was editing; Mr. Sargent reproduced these notes, without having seen the original.
