Description: Journal of Jonathan Scott (1744-1819), a minister in the Congregational church, who was born in Lunenburg, Massachusetts. He served at Cheboque (or Jeboque) in southern Nova Scotia between 1768 and 1795, and at Minot, Maine from 1795 until 1819. "Historically the journal is invaluable for its portrayal of the hardy life of pioneers, incidents connected with the Revolution, and methods of travel by sea and by land in those days. Theologically it is important in its revelation of religious thinking of the period." (p. xi). The appendix lists his descendants to 1912.
