1808 diary sample<\/p><\/div>\n

By Lauren Stepp<\/p>\n

Long before anyone could read them, William Thomas Prestwood\u2019s diaries were already alive with secrets.<\/p>\n

For decades, the 19th-century Appalachian farmer filled his hand-sewn notebooks with the stuff of sin and science\u2014astronomy, anatomy and adultery\u2014all written in code. More than a century later, his descendant, Henderson County author Jeremy Jones, stumbled upon the mystery while digging through a box of family relics.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cI\u2019d gone to my grandma\u2019s to look for old family photographs to include in my first book, Bearwallow<\/em>, but as I sifted through the box, Grandma reached in and fished out an old newspaper clipping she\u2019d saved but apparently forgotten,\u201d Jones recalls. \u201cIt told of the discovery and decoding of the diaries\u2014and of the diarist\u2019s many recorded sexual affairs. I didn\u2019t know I\u2019d spend the next 10 years obsessing over those diaries then, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

The notebooks first surfaced in 1975, when a man in Wadesboro, NC, uncovered a box of delicate, hand-stitched journals in a house slated for demolition. Their pages were covered in cryptic symbols, so he turned them over to a retired National Security Agency cryptanalyst. The codebreaker succeeded, revealing a startling portrait of Prestwood: a white farmer who charted eclipses, dissected rabbits and calculated planetary orbits before slipping into closets and haylofts with lovers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reader is left,\u201d the codebreaker wrote, \u201cwith the lasting impression that here in these pathetic little books is the very essence of Everyman\u2019s life from the cradle to the grave.\u201d<\/p>\n

But to Jones, Prestwood was no Everyman\u2014he was blood.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, when I first learned about them, I saw the diaries as a curiosity,\u201d Jones says. \u201cI flipped through and looked for certain four-letter words and scandalous acts, but I didn\u2019t really engage with them in any deeper way. Eventually, though, I started reading the diaries chronologically, and then the man captured there began to take shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones\u2019 new book, Cipher, follows Prestwood as he mines for gold, hides runaway slaves, befriends Daniel Boone\u2019s great-nephew and raises sons destined for Gettysburg. But not every chapter of his ancestor\u2019s life was so easy to trace.<\/p>\n

For example, in 1838, Prestwood abruptly wrote \u201cstart army\u201d and then went silent for two weeks. To uncover what happened during that time, Jones worked with historians at Western Carolina University and learned that Prestwood had joined a local militia tasked with rounding up Cherokee families during the Trail of Tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcavation may be a good word,\u201d Jones says of this research process. \u201cThere was a lot of puzzling, and so it did feel akin to pulling up pieces of another life and then trying to see how they fit together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through that excavation, Jones came to see history not as something distant and static but as a living force that continues to shape who we are.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we owe it to our ancestors to try to learn from how they lived, even if our response is to aim to live in the opposite way,\u201d says Jones. \u201cI think we owe it to ourselves to closely examine the past, in all of its messiness, so that we can try to move forward into a better world.\u201d<\/p>\n
