She also writes about the weather at one time there was six or seven feet of snow where she lived , various illnesses, accidents and deaths of people she knew, and common everyday things like that.

A A very quick read and very interesting. Published June 1st by Applewood Books first published And it is fortunate that this is the case; for, from the frankly frivolous though far from self conscious entries we gain a very exact notion, a very valuable picture, of the dress of a young girl at that day. All around a good read A quick read which I recommend to every American interested in their own roots.
It's not scintillating, but it is a nice look at the everyday life of a young girl at the birth of the American Revolution.

Parts of it are unintentionally funny as the Puritan Anna, despite the religious imprecations to modesty, is just as fashion-conscious as any modern teenager. Feb 21, Lori rated it really liked it. A very quick read and very interesting. At times it was a bit stale, Anna's diary which meant everything to her is a bit lacking at times for the reader probably because the people who were important for her mean nothing to us.
A great inside look to what was important to this 11 year old New England girl. The Religion, politics and socializing that went on for the times.
I did also very much enjoy the old English wording and writing although sometimes I did have up fall back on context clues. A A very quick read and very interesting.
All around a good read Apr 14, Leslie Jordan rated it really liked it Shelves: I would suggest reading this after visiting the Freedom Trail in Boston so you get a sense of the places and events Anna talks about. It really enriched her diary for me. I can see how coming into reading this without actually being there and being too interested in daily life at the time would make her diary seem trivial and boring. Also you'll be helping keep the exhibits open if you buy it from the gift shop.
This is a must read book it is really cute and awesome really I just cant fors you guys but tri it like it take it no no like it leave it alone on the shelf someone else mite tack it it mite be me and my name is Dana and I am sending this from my iPod touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Written in , first published in and reprinted in , this book is understandable to the modern reader, but certainly not easy to read. It does give us a glimpse of what life was like for this young girl, just before the American Revolution.

So it is about this person did that and that person was here. Yet the life of the times is better learned.
