SUMMARY:Bruce's Garden Summer Readings
DESCRIPTION:Geoff Wisner on George Tempelton Strong’s Civil War Diaries\nGeorge Templeton Strong: Civil War Diaries (Library of America\, 2026) Geoff Wisner\, editor. \nGeoff Wisner is an author and editor whose work is published widely. In his latest book\, the noted Thoreau scholar turned his keen editorial insights to the prolific diarist George Templeton Strong’s writings on the Civil War. These writings are remarkably vivid and suffused with novelistic detail. Strong wrote eyewitness accounts of the 1863 Draft Riots\, field hospitals teeming with wounded men\, and his meetings with both Grant and Lincoln. This book is greatly anticipated by scholars\, and should also be a great read for all interested in New York history.
