Memoir of Joseph Badger and early Reserve hardships
A lengthy reminiscence recounts Joseph Badger's 1775 enlistment, Bunker Hill, and a brutal Canadian winter, detailing disease, scarce supplies, and fording rivers. It traces his later evangelical work, migration to the Western Reserve, and missionary labors among scattered settlements with harsh travel, near-starving conditions, and revival efforts. It closes noting Washington birthplace sites and local monuments’ neglect.
