Reminiscences of his past life; writing a diary
W.A. Croffut wrote in 1884 an article on his meeting with Isaiah Rynders when the latter was 89: "Reminiscences of his past life; writing a diary." Isaiah Rynders told he kept a daily written record since 1848. He was planning to put his recollections and his journal in shape to bring out a volume in 1885, the year he died. He told W.A. Croffut that he met with Andrew Jackson when he was president in 1828. He remembered Aaron Burr, Edgar A. Poe and all of our presidents but one. He indicates he regretted working for Polk and Buchanan. Apparently, the volume on his recollections was never published.
