Primary Source Example #1An excerpt from Mary Barkers Diary

March 5, 1770I am so afraid! Father is not home yet and I am so worried that something horrible has happened to him! I was downtown this evening and I saw the fight start. It looked like a street fight between those bloody British Lobster Backs and a few neighborhood boys (including the handsome George Miller!) The boys were throwing rocks and chunks of ice at the soldiers and then shots rang out! I ran home as fast as I could! I heard that some people in the crowd died and Im so worried that Father was there

Primary Source Example #2An excerpt of a letter

Dear Ma,

Sorry that I havent written in so long. I know that you mustve worried about me something fierce. But, I am as fit as a fiddle, although I have had a few bouts of the quick step. Some fresh fish just joined our ranks from back homeI saw Tommy and he told me that you and Pa are doing fine. I havent seen any fighting for months Im just itching to whip those Rebs and teach them a lesson! Im tired of camp lifeeating hardtack and picking graybacks from my hair
