Caroline Richards began her diary in 1852 as a ten-year-old living with her grandparents in Canandaigua, New York. Over twenty years she records school and Sunday school, sermons and sleigh rides, visiting lecturers, village characters, the coming of the Civil War, soldiers and the news from the front, and her own growing up and marriage.
