Daniel R. Hundley diary 1859 Hundley, Daniel R. diary

http://quod.lib.umich.edu/c/clementsead/umich-wcl-M-2736.1hun?rgn=main;view=text

The Daniel R. Hundley diary was kept by an Alabamian while he was in Chicago seeking a career as an author. The diary contains daily records of his activities, and his reactions as a southern Baptist, living in the North, to national and international political issues such as abolition. Of particular interest are his scathing comments on John Brown and his "assassins," whose fates he followed very closely in the days after the Harper's Ferry raid.
