George Templeton Strong: Civil War Diaries (Library of America, 2026) Geoff Wisner, editor.
Geoff 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.
If you were to take a time machine back to 18th-century Manhattan, you would come across lush forests, rolling hills, an abundance of wildlife, and small Dutch family farms scattered throughout the countryside.
While most of that rural beauty has vanished thanks to 300 years of industrialization, one lone farmhouse has stood the test of time and still in its original plot on bustling Broadway.
It’s time to explore this important piece of New York history after the doors close to the public.
Join New York Adventure Club for an after-hours tour & wine reception at the Dyckman Farmhouse. Built in 1784, this Dutch Colonial style farmhouse is the last remaining one of its kind in Manhattan
New York Adventure Club’s private experience will include:
– Stories around the Dyckman family, rural Northern Manhattan landscape, and a lifestyle that disappeared during the transformation from farming community to urban neighborhood
– A private, after-hours tour through the historic rooms and garden of the 238-year-old Dyckman Farmhouse.
– A wine & cheese reception in the backyard garden, which includes a small reproduced smokehouse from 1916, a well, and a Hessian Hut that British troops would have lived in during the early days of the Revolutionary War.
