Letters from an American Farmer [SEP] Introduction
Letters from an American Farmer is a series of letters written by French American writer J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur, first published in 1782. The considerably longer title under which it was originally published is "Letters from an American Farmer; Describing Certain Provincial Situations, Manners, and Customs not Generally Known; and Conveying Some Idea of the Late and Present Interior Circumstances of the British Colonies in North America". The twelve letters cover a wide range of topics, from the emergence of an American identity to the slave trade. Crèvecœur wrote "Letters" during a period of seven years prior to the American Revolutionary War, while farming land near Orange County, New York.
