An aristocratic member of a prominent Philadelphia family, Sidney George Fisher was a prolific man of letters. He kept a detailed diary that chronicled not only daily life in America's second city but also the key political, social, and cultural events of the 19th century. This book talks about the Fisher's diary written during the Civil War.
