There was a flare burning off Rocky Point when I went to bed last night.

This journal was written by my great-grandfather, Jesse Brewer, who lived 1888 – 1971. He lived in Plymouth and worked as a caretaker at the Hornblower estate, which later became the land on which Plimouth Plantation was built.
