Mission and Dedication.
HIS SITE IS DEDICATED
to the memory of Capt. David Perry.
Its mission is: (1) to share Capt. David Perry's memoir with
as many people as possible, particularly the "future generations"
of Americans to whom he spoke so compellingly* and his own posterity
for whom he wrote his memoirs;*
(2) to make this valuable
document available to students of history: American, Canadian, Algonquin, Mi'qmak, British, French; and (3) to help
all readers of Capt. Perry's
words to discover both the man and the "times in which he lived."*
It is hoped that this
site will also provide a forum for those
with information to share on David Perry. My time to answer
e-mail is
very limited, but information offered, queries, suggestions, &c. will
receive a reply if my health permits. Information that adds to my 35-plus
years' research will be incorporated into this site and/or the forthcoming
edition, if permissible and my situation allows, and will be acknowledged
accordingly. Contributors are asked to please accurately document
all material wherever possible.-- DGJ, editor, 1998-2013.
A first edition has now come west to Utah.
All other extant first editions (except that sold to an anonymous buyer by
John Johnson of White River Junction, VT), are owned by educational and historical
institutions east of Michigan and Nebraska. A large number of David
Perry's descendants live west of that line, it is hoped this rare copy
will be available to descendants to view in the future. (More information on first editions...)
To share information regarding Capt. David Perry, his memoir
Recollections of An Old Soldier, his family, ancestors or descendants,
