I have been translating Samuel Dodman's 1791 diary, almost daily, onto my HettyHummer Blog. Maybe I should put it on here instead (or as well).
I have had a peak into his later entries for 1791 - when he arrives in the 'fledgling' USA for the first time (with his Norfolk Breeches). I now know how important they were to George Washington and the future survival of the Country.
The diary proves that without British help (especially Sam's help), the USA would not exist today. Without Sam's Norfolk Breeches (Britches) the World would be very different!
