Hard cover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dustjacket as Issued. This copy signed "Cherry F. Bamberg". Captain Samuel Tillinghast (1711-1787) of Warwick, Rhode Island kept a shop, a sloop and, fortuitously for historians, a diary. From 1757 to 1766 Tillinghast recorded daily events--visits, illnesses, deaths, and most consistently, the weather--in a series of handmade journals created by interleaving blank sheets with pages from the popular Ames? Almanack. Researchers have used Tillinghast?s regular observations of climatic conditions to understand the environmental history of Narragansett Bay. Autographed copies rarely offered. Signed by Author.
