The listing, Dear America, Standing in the Light has ended.

Hardback book in excellent condition. This is the Captive Diary of Catharine Carey Logan, Delaware Valley, Pennsylvania, 1763.

Something strange happened to me today, Papa. Without warning, I began to say all my thoughts aloud. And many of them were most bitter. It happened when I was walking behind the hunter with the eagle painted on his cheek...suddenly my wrath poured out like fire. I told him that I was not a savage like him and the others! I told him that...I despise everything about him and his people...

He did not turn back even once to look at me, nor to command me to be silent. Indeed, I began to wonder if he had heard me at all. Then I wondered if I had even spoken. Was I only thinking these venomous thoughts?

I fear I am going mad, Papa. Perhaps invisible too. Worst of all, my ink is neraly gone...now for certain, I will totally disappear.
