Mr. Strong has a very fine turn of phrase in his descriptions.

I have really enjoyed preparing his entries for posting. I have gotten through September. He has more than once had me cracking up in the midst of a transcription or scan prep. I have decided to acquire the complete 4 volume set of his diaries as soon as there is room on my Visa card. I don't have much going on in 1857-58 and my abridged version of the Strong diaries doesn't include those years. Okay, the Lincoln-Douglas debates are in '58, but not until August.

Whopper of a cost! It’s a shame there’s not an online or e-book version!
