2	Author:	Rush, Benjamin, 1746-1813	Add
	Title:	Travels through life:or an account of sundry incidents and events in the life of Benjamin Rush...written for the use of his children, [1800]
	Dates:	Circa 1800
	Abstract:	Benjamin Rush's Travels Through Life is his multi-volume autobiography. This manuscript copy is in his own hand and takes up eight volumes of notebooks. The APS also has another manuscript copy of the work that was written by someone other than Rush, likely in preparation for its publication. Rush wrote the autobiography for his children. The APS published portions of the diary, but segments have not been published. Notations suggest that portions that would be "offensive to surviving relatives" be omitted from publication. Other sections were crossed out but are readable and contain pertinent information. This is especially true on the section where Rush records his thoughts on prominent individuals from the American Revolution. View finding aid for a full description
