Depicting his life from his childhood in Pennsylvania to his time
as a public official, including his experiences recruiting and
training his own troops for the Revolutionary War, Graydon's
memoirs provide a unique and personal view of the American Colonial
period. First published in 1811, his memoirs were not initially
popular, probably because of their inflammatory remarks about
public figures ranging from Albert Gallatin to Thomas Jefferson and
his followers. Memoirs of a Life Chiefly Passed in Pennsylvania
shows Graydon's disdain for those he saw as seduced by power and
money and leaves the reader with a critical view of some of the
most popular figures of his time.
