Description
Recounts the "warnings out" delivered by Robert Love in Boston to some four thousand itinerants, including youthful migrant workers, demobilized British soldiers, recently exiled Acadians, and women following the redcoats who occupied Boston in 1768. Love kept meticulous records of the sojourners he spoke to, including where they lodged and whether they were lame, ragged, drunk, impudent, homeless, or begging. Through these documents, the authors reconstruct the biographies of travelers, exploring why so many people were on the move throughout the British Atlantic and why they came to Boston.
