Alexander and Janet Schaw, Scottish siblings, began a journey in
1774 that would take them from Edinburgh to the Caribbean Islands
and then to America. Part of the early wave of Scottish
colonization, the pair visited family and friends who had already
established themselves in the colonies. "Journal of a Lady of
Quality" is Janet Schaw's account of this voyage through letters to
a friend in Scotland. The letters describe the sights, scenery, and
social life she encountered, but they also reveal the political
atmosphere of an America on the verge of revolution. Stephen Carl
Arch provides a new introduction for this Bison Books edition.
