Field notes
The interactive prototype lets readers select a year and follow journal entries in sequence; selecting a stop exposes the journal text and the rationale for placing it. Its underlying evidence differs by period: 1771–1790 draws partly on identifications in the 1958 edition’s footnotes, while years unavailable in the digitized source are taken from an 1852 edition without editorial notes. The project marks points provisional and says some remain unreviewed.
