Abstract:

Pamela Savage was a New York state native who traveled to Oxford to relieve her health complications. She lived with her pastor Reverend Joseph Labaree who was appointed as the Oxford Presbyterians and principal of the Oxford Female Academy. She kept a diary of her time spent in Oxford from September 26, 1825 to June 11, 1827 which is reprinted in this article. The document offers a glimpse into the social, economic, and geographical account of Oxford during this period.
