J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur [SEP] Biography
He also traveled about working as a surveyor. He started writing about life in the American colonies and the emergence of an American society. In 1779, during the American Revolution, St. John tried to leave the country to return to France because of the faltering health of his father. Accompanied by his son, he crossed British-American lines to enter British-occupied New York City, where he was imprisoned as an American spy for three months without a hearing. Eventually, he was able to sail for Britain, and was shipwrecked off the coast of Ireland. From Britain, he sailed to France, where he was briefly reunited with his father.
