I read Strong's diaries in college. It would be a real service to see them published again. He humanizes the Civil War.

Fascinating! Thanks for the creative talk here. I am struck by not only the length of the diary, but in comparisons with Whitman. One volume, every bit of writing one can surmise. Marvelous stuff!

Tangential, but: Brenda Wineapple's Introductions to Walt Whitman Speaks, and Collected Poems of John Greenleaf Whittier, are marvelous: erudite but not stuffy, insightful, analytical but also heartfelt—just the right tone. It's clear that she cares deeply for her subject, and puts much passion and effort into her work. Brava!
