Filled with witty observations about the trials and tribulations of 18th-century travel, and with wry commentary on the people she meets along the way and the areas she visits, Knight's journal has long been used in anthologies of early American travel writing, women's writing, and humor. I remain somewhat skeptical of it as a historical document, but even if it is a piece of early 19th-century fiction, it remains very much a fascinating read. ( )
