About the author

Timothy Boardman

1754–1838

A Revolutionary War sailor and early Vermont settler, he left behind a lively firsthand log of life aboard the privateer Oliver Cromwell in 1778. His account blends seafaring danger with the perspective of someone remembered as one of Rutland's pioneer residents.
