Nicholas Gesner, a farmer who lived in Palisades, NY from 1765 to
1868, kept a diary in which he recorded his farming chores, his
problems with neighbors, events such as cholera epidemics, meteor
showers, shipwrecks and other aspects of his life. This book
excerpts the most interesting entries from Nicholas's 1600 page
diary. As well as farming, he taught school, built ships, and acted
as a lawyer to his neighbors, writing wills and deeds and surveying
property. He was a bit of a curmudgeon and sometimes wrote five
pages about something when he was upset. Nicholas began the diary
to keep track of the comings and goings of his neighbor Polly
Concklin, with whom he had a very unusual relationship.
