You may have already noticed that the cover of this book, Pritchard Daviess – A Blissful Existence, includes another name—mine. Years ago, I was attending an auction at a local antique dealer’s. While diving in the dumpster behind the shop, I found a crate of manuscripts and other baubles that appeared to have gone unsold. Each of the writings tied into a large and poorly-documented family with a penchant for writing intimate—and arguably, embellished—accounts of their lives. After considerable research on my part, I have determined that no heirs exist to lay claim to the documents, so I’m going to make a few bucks off of them while I can.
Deciding which manuscript to publish first proved to be a difficult task, but in the end, I chose the subject of this memoir because of his historical relevance to the American Revolution. And I believe everyone can relate to at least one of Pritchard’s blunders. Other manuscripts will be published as time and editorial interest permit.
