Diary of William Cadwell of Syracuse, New York. 1849/1851. 8vo. Approximately 180 handwritten manuscript pages chronicling events of 1849-1851 in contemporary half calf record book with marbled boards (rubbing, foxing throughout). In this journal Cadwell discusses religious philosophy of the period, slavery, and politics, among other topics. A fascinating glimpse into an average man?s thoughts on the political and social climate in the decade leading up to the Civil War.
