One of the city's most promising architects and master masons, Mylne had been driven to mental and financial exhaustion following the partial collapse of a bridge he had been commissioned to build on Edinburgh's north side ~ a tragic accident that claimed the lives of five pedestrians. The core of this volume is an intimate and graphic description of Mylnes travels and experiences in America, told through the surviving correspondence between him and his sister and brother in Great Britain. Mylne traveled first to London and then sailed to Charleston, South Carolina. Using his cabin near Augusta, Georgia, as a home base, he spent the subsequent year venturing about the southern frontier. Then, in 1775, he undertook an overland journey from Augusta to New York via Charleston, New Bern, Williamsburg, and Philadelphia. Mylne arrived in America at a crucial period. Revolutionary sentiment was high and the southern frontier was expanding. His record of life in the environs of Augusta and his comments on the main towns and buildings of the southern coast are fresh, original, and graphic, described with an architect's appraising eye. Mylnes warm accounts of his happily reclusive life are mixed with descriptions of fellow settlers (some of whom, such as James Gordon and Andrew Robertson, would play pivotal loyalist roles in ensuing years), of individuals in the merchant community known as the "gentlemen of Augusta," and of travelers he chanced upon during his ramblings. Mylnes exile, which ended with his return to London in 1775, was an interlude in a respectable career in architecture, design, building, and engineering, vocations his family had followed for three centuries. Mylne's career and his associations in Edinburgh, London, Dublin, and continental Europe are sketched in the book's initial and closing chapters. The whole story is enriched by a detailed, annotated index of key persons, places, and events on both sides of the Atlantic.
