Journal of Occurrences

Journal of Occurrences

A Journal of Occurrences published in 1759-1778 in Boston was an account by the American chronicler John Boyle (1746-1819) of events in Boston, Massachusetts during the American Revolution.

The "Journal of Occurrences" was published in a way similar to that of something published with a modern wiretap. John Boyle distributed this journal to the British colonies of America via smaller papers throughout the new country.
