HISTORY BIOGRAPHY"Invaluablea!many insights into the life and
thought of the nineteenth centurya!. [Fisher's] comments are
stimulating, often barbeda!.the narrative is smooth-flowing and
fascinating."-American Historical Review"An important literary
eventa!.an invaluable historical source. Unexcelled."-Pennsylvania
History"Fisher was an astute and acerbic commentator on politics
and society in Philadelphia, Washington, and the country as a whole
during the Civil War. While legal, historical, and literary
scholars will mine this diary for its penetrating insights, lovers
of history will delight in Fisher's ability to record the quotidian
and the monumental with clarity, force, and lasting effect."-Herman
Belz, University of Maryland"An indispensable source for the
Northern home front during the Civil War."-Mark E. Neely, Jr., The
Pennsylvania State UniversityAn aristocratic member of a prominent
Philadelphia family, Sidney George Fisher (1809-1871) was a
prolific man of letters. Between 1834 and 1871, 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
nineteenth century. Published in 1967, Fisher's diary quickly
became one of the most remarkable works of its kind; few published
diaries are as incisive and illuminating of their era.This book
makes available once again the pages of Fisher's diary written
during the Civil War. As he wrote on November 9, 1861, "My diary
has become little else than a record of the events of the war,
which occupies all thoughts and conversation." His "record of the
events" is a uniquely valuable portrait of a city, and a nation, at
war. Fisher recorded everythingfrom conversations on street corners
to arrests of civilians for treason (including some members of his
family), critiques of partisan speeches and pamphlets to
descriptions of battles, accounts of runaway slaves, and tales of
mob violence. At the same time, he reports on dinners, parties,
weddings, and funerals among the city's elite.Brilliant journalism,
the Diary is rich with Fisher's own observations- on secession, war
and peace, on his admiration for Lincoln and his complicated
feelings about slavery and emancipation.The Diary, with a new
introduction by Jonathan W. White, joins those of George Templeton
Strong and Mary Boykin Chesnut as classic windows on American
lifeDuring the War Between the States.Jonathan W. White's articles
on Civil War politics have appeared in such journals as Civil War
History, American Nineteenth Century History, The Pennsylvania
Magazine of History and Biography, and Pennsylvania History.
Awarded a John T. Hubbell prize for the best article in Civil War
History, he is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of
