About this item

Ruth Pease was 23 when she wrote this diary. She began it with a number of assertions to help her live a more moral life. She codified them into thirty resolutions adopted from the more extensive list of influential evangelical minister, Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), bringing her own voice and ideals to her list. In 1817, Pease married Orian Sage of Blandford, Massachusetts. They lived there until 1848, when they moved to Ware, Massachusetts. Ruth died in 1858.
