Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. This is the diary of (initially) a young girl in Canandaigua, New York and it describes her life over twenty years from the age of ten in 1852. The civil war's impact on daily life away from the front is documented in its effects on the people at home, in both fundraising and mourning for lost friends.
The author, Caroline Cowles Richards, and her sister were raised by their puritan grandparents so this is also a fascinating insight into that heavily religious community. It is clearly and well written even in the early entries and a valuable resource for anyone interested in this part of history.
