My Diary North and South.

Notes

See the May 29, 1861, diary entry (p. 242) concerning the influence of the Jews in New Orleans during the Civil War ("one of the evils which afflicts the Louisianians, they say, is the prepondrance and influence of South Carolinian Jews, and Jews generally ..."). There are remarks about a Jewish-owned, curiosity-filled museum at Niagara Falls on the American side (p. 363); the museum’s unnamed proprietor at this time was Sydney Barnet.
