Colonel Byrd Notes on Colonial Life and Modern Morals
This excerpt surveys Colonel Byrd's 1728 observations of life on Virginia and North Carolina frontiers, noting lazy men and industrious women, ginseng lore, and frontier mining. It pivots to remarks on women, marriage, and moral critique, then shifts to modern topics on Mormonism, divorce, suffrage, and a cautionary tale about a fraudulent poet.
