Diary

Notes

A pro-Union Civil War diary covering most of 1861-64 and replete with deprecations of the Jews as financiers, gold speculators, parvenus, traitors, volunteer enlistment bounty jumpers, etc., all indicative of "social leprosy" (vol. 2, p. 236). Notice the author’s loathing of August Belmont ("Belmont the Great") cast as the "prince-dictator of the Democrats, the liege lord of Wall street" (vol. 3, p. 386). Vol. 2 has imprint: New-York: Carleton; vol. 3 has imprint: Washington, D.C.: W. H. & and O. H. Morrison.
