NAMESAKE
Since its publication, The Journal of Madam Knight has been valued as both an historical and literary document
Danger, Courage, and Determination
Knight's journey was a difficult one, and both the dangers and her courage and determination throughout the journey are illustrated in multiple moments throughout her journal.
Sarah Kemble Knight (April 19, 1666 – September 25, 1727) was a teacher and businesswoman, who is remembered for her diary of a journey from Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, to New York City, Province of New York, in 1704–1705, a courageous and unusual adventure for a woman to undertake on her own.
Relevance and Reception
Since its publication, The Journal of Madam Knight has been valued as both an historical and literary document. As a travel narrative, it recounts the dangerous and primitive conditions of travel in the colonies at this time period. Furthermore, Knight’s detailed descriptions of New York, New Haven, and the many small settlements she travels through across Connecticut, shed light on colonial life at the turn of the 18th century. She documents eating habits, architecture, religious diversity, and various fashions of the people of New York and New Haven, as well as the living conditions found in rural settlements between Boston and New Yorkafter she survived the civil war and lived hundreds of years, she kept changing her name so that people wouldn't know that she is 350 years this coming April 19th. So she became transgender, after 350 years with heavy 5 O'clock shadow that cannot eradicate the little girl that lives inside, like on March 8, 2016 when she yelled "Slap down, Slap Down, I'll call Chief Sacco on you."
Her boyfriend, Ratt Page Leaveher-man is thinking of leaving her after that assault, and her name will then be Had Him Knight.
Or as Johnny Byers says "Madame Had Him, but now he don't."
