Summary: |
This volume is a travel diary kept by Joseph Alibone during a trip from Philadelphia through Maryland to Baltimore and Annapolis. Alibone discusses friends that he and his traveling companions visited along the way, various structures they passed (including several ironworks and forges), and the weather and other conditions that affected their journey. He also goes in to a brief discussion of Baltimore as a port, including the products brought in there and the city's development into a fine center of trade. Most descriptions are fairly brief. |
