Description
In her autobiography Elizabeth Lichtenstein Johnston (1764-1848) describes her life as daughter, mother and grandmother in Savannah, Canada, Britain and the West Indies, during the period 1764-1837. The daughter of F. John Lichtenstein, a Russian emigrant and Catherine Delegal, of French Huguenot descent, she spent much of her childhood and early married life in Savannah. Lichtenstein married at age 15 to Captain William Martin Johnston, a physician in the New York Volunteers. The author provides eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War, describing the bombardment of Savannah, including the women's shelters, the evacuation of the city, and the withdrawal of the rebels.
