Publisher's Synopsis

A Narrative Of The Life And Travels Of John Robert Shaw, The Well-Digger (1807) is an autobiographical account of the life of John Robert Shaw, a well-digger from the late 18th century. The book chronicles Shaw's experiences growing up in poverty, his struggles to make a living, and his travels throughout England and Scotland in search of work. Throughout the book, Shaw provides vivid descriptions of the people he meets and the places he visits, offering a unique perspective on life in Britain during this time period. Shaw's story is one of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity, and his account provides valuable insight into the lives of working-class individuals during the Industrial Revolution. The book is a valuable historical document that offers readers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during a time of great social and economic change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
