Synopsis "Discoveries of America: Personal Accounts of British Emigrants to North America During the Revolutionary era "

This text collates the personal letters written by 18 of the thousands of British emigrants who left for North America in the 15 years preceding the onset of the American Revolution. The letters reveal the motivations, experiences, characteristics, and emotions of these people, who populated America at a crucial time in its history, and provide new insights into the mechanisms of the British-American migration, especially the organisation of personal networks of family and friends.
