She names dozens and dozens of Brattleboro residents that she visited in her Diary, often she brought baked goods or hand made articles of clothing to people. She also wrote much about the local Y.M.C.A., the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and ot... View more info

Publisher: Pennsylvania, 1913
Seller ID: 000017b
Condition: Good+
This is an interesting diary representing the year of 1913. The diary is completely full of handwritten entries, with a page a day for writing. We are not quite sure about who kept the diary but we do know that the husband (Charles) writes all the way up until the middle of June and then the wife takes over. We believe that they live in Pennsylvania from my analyses of the several towns that they mention. Towns listed were; Riverton, Highland, Easton, Pittsburg, Union, Bangor and Columbus. They also mention so many names, some of which are; Livingston, Randall, Harvey, Miles, Dodge, Whiteside,... View more info
