Journal of Samuel Maclay: While Surveying The West Branch Of The Susquehanna, The Sinnemahoning And The Allegheny Rivers, In 1790
by Samuel MaclayThe Journal of Samuel Maclay is one man’s account of a 1790 surveying expedition, commissioned by the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, to explore the newly purchased land in northwestern Pennsylvania, including the headwaters of the west branch of the Susquehanna, the Sinnemahoning, and the Allegheny Rivers. The journal, published in 1887 with ample historical annotations by John F. Meginness, provides a richly detailed record of Maclay’s travels in the “New Purchase” over five months, ending along the Juniata River in the Kishacoquillas Valley. It preserves both the physical landscape and the cultural milieu of the state between the American Revolution and the turn of the century, as seen through the eyes of an observant surveyor. Day-to-day details of dining and travel, as well as Maclay’s personal interjections, help establish the greater historical and cultural context of this pivotal era in Pennsylvania’s expansion.-Print ed.
Journal of Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society: A New Land: Rediscovering Agency in Belarusian History, Politics, and Society, Vol. 3, No. 1 (2017)
by Assistant Public Joanne RaymondThis special issue provides a forum for discussion of what Belarusian Studies are today and which new approaches and questions are needed to revitalize the field in the regional and international academic arena. The major aim of the issue is to go beyond the narratives of dictatorship and authoritarianism as well as that of a never-ending story of failed Belarusian nationalism—interpretive schemes that are frequently used for understanding Belarus in scholarly literature in Western Europe and Northern America. Bringing together ongoing research based on original empirical material from Belarusian history, politics, and society, this issue combines a discussion of the concept of autonomy/agency with its applicability to trace how individual and collective actors who define themselves as Belarusian—or otherwise—have manifested their agendas in various practices in spite of and in reaction to state pressure. This issue offers new approaches for interpreting Belarusian society as a dynamically changing set of agencies. In doing so, it attempts to overcome a tradition of locating present Belarusian political and social dilemmas in its socialist past.

Journal of William Maclay: United States Senator from Pennsylvania, 1789-1791
by William MaclayThe Journal of William Maclay, a diary written by Maclay as a daily private record of Senate proceedings, was intended for personal reference. It was quite common for senators at that time to take notes of the various debates occurring in the Senate Chamber, especially given the importance of the First Congress and its role in selecting the location of the capital, the creation of the federal judicial system, and many other matters crucial in the early years of the federal government. Maclay wrote in his diary every evening, while the events of the day were still fresh in his memory. Most likely, Maclay never thought it would be published, since many entries expressed strong opinions about colleagues and events of the time. In fact, the impetus for starting the diary may have come from Maclay’s tenuous relationship with the first vice president of the United States, and thus the first president of the Senate, John Adams. They took an immediate dislike to each other. Adams considered Maclay a dullard of sorts, Maclay was disturbed by Adams’s fondness for ceremony, and they held fundamentally different views about the role of the new federal government.Maclay entered the Senate as a Federalist, or Pro-Administration, legislator, but he soon began to disagree with his Federalist colleagues in the Senate. He disliked the abundance of ceremony in interactions between President George Washington and the Senate. He objected to Washington’s presence in the Senate while business was being transacted. He opposed the chartering of the United States Bank, even at the sacrifice of personal popularity. The strong Antifederalist positions he developed, and the stubbornness with which he maintained them, even in the face of overwhelming pressure, cost Maclay the opportunity to be reelected to a full six-year term by the Pennsylvania legislature.-Senate.gov.
Journal of a Second Expedition into the Interior of Africa from the Bight of Benin to Soccatoo: of Benin to Soccatoo (Cambridge Library Collection - African Studies)
by H. ClappertonThis account was first published in 1829. After serving in the Royal Navy in Canada, Hugh Clapperton (1788-1827) participated in two expeditions to the interior of Africa. Richard Lander (1804-34), a young Cornishman who had travelled widely in the service of previous employers, applied to accompany him on the second expedition, during which Clapperton died. Lander published this edition of Clapperton's journal in 1829; an expanded version (also available in this series) appeared the following year. Clapperton's account of his experiences is informal, lively and vivid, describing hospitality and annoyances, discomforts and pleasures. Although its language and attitudes are typical of the early colonial period, it remains a valuable source for West African history. The book also contains a short biography of Clapperton, Lander's emotional account of his master's illness and death, and his journal of his lonely return journey. The appendix includes meteorological observations, notes on Arabic documents, and Yoruba vocabulary.

Journal of a Trapper: Or Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains, 1834-1843 is an important historical document that offers valuable insights into the early days of the American West.

Journal of a Trapper: Nine Years in the Rocky Mountains, 1834–1843
by Osborne RussellEver wonder how everyone made it west? They used trails beaten by such men as Osborne Russell. In 1830, sixteen-year-old Russell left his farm in Maine and ran away to the sea. He didn’t like it. He ended up joining an expedition headed to Oregon by way of the Rocky Mountains. Along the way, he acquired the skills necessary for survival. He also hunted buffalo and trapped beaver, looked for new trails west, and kept a journal that forms the basis of this vigorously authentic book, only including information he considered “proved true by experience.” Written in an intensely personal style that lacks punctuation at times, The Journal of a Trapper abounds with details about hunting and trapping in the Rocky Mountains, including descriptions of the animals he encountered. He travelled along the Yellowstone, Snake, and Sweetwater rivers (among others), through the Rockies and Tetons. His book is so accurate that recent readers have retraced his steps using it. Russell’s journal reflects the complex character of many of the independent men of that era: adventurous, tough, and resourceful. He was a politician in Oregon when he decided to write about his earlier life as a trapper in the Rockies, and he retained the authentic “voice of the West.” Read this book for its exact and colorful descriptions, and for a rollicking good time.
