THE JOURNAL OF NICHOLAS CRESSWELL

Cresswell was the son of a landowner and sheep farmer in Crowden-le-Booth, Edale, Derbyshire.

For the next three years he kept a journal of his experiences, along with comments on political issues. He became unpopular due to his opposition to the independence cause in the American War of Independence. Cresswell returned to England, and after a failed attempt to receive a commission from the ex-governor of Virginia, John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, he returned to Edale to resume farming.
