About this book
Washington kept this journal in 1747 and 1748 while surveying land in Virginia's Northern Neck, beyond the Blue Ridge, for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. He was about sixteen at the time.
The 1892 edition prints his words exactly as written, without corrected spelling or punctuation, and the editor calls it his earliest literary effort apart from his copy of the Rules of Civility. Plans traced from the originals accompany the text, among them surveys of individual landholders' plots, Major Lawrence Washington's turnip field and the Lost River.
