Can I ask what is this with the “Diary of George T Strong” - and what has it to do with the Harper’s Weekly?
I’m just confused about why this pops up.
Further, since such info has come up, I’d like to use it to update the Find-a-Grave site I posted, but I can’t understand what date we’re looking at, or why such posts keeps saying “continued” (i.e., why is a Feb 27 posted after apparently Feb 23, and are they actually connected to the Harper’s which states Feb 26?). So, I don’t know how I might go back and find when Johnson actually died, etc. I’m also assuming they are all 1859?
What is all the connection, please?
I start a new thread each week headed by the Harper's Weekly that was published on that date 160 years ago. For the next seven days I post on the same thread excerpts from other sources that correspond to those days. These days (1859) most of those are from Strong's diary. For the benefit of readers who wish to follow a particular source back through time I post a link to the previous post from that source. The exception to that rule is for posts from civilwarnotebook.blogspot.com. I don't post links to previous posts for those but I do post a link to the site.
