Editorial Reviews

Not the well known Founding Father, but a Scottish physician who set up practice in Maryland and had a brief political career. Hamilton (1712-56) travelled from Maryland to Maine and kept a detailed and witty journal. First published as Hamilton's itinerarium in 1906. Well annotated and indexed. Annotation c.
