A facsimile edition. In April 1861 John B. Jones(1810-1866) decided to start a daily diary describing the historic events taking place around him. Jones faithfully kept his diary for the next four years, ending it only after Richmond fell to Northern troops in April 1865 and the Confederacy was destroyed. Jones died from a sudden illness in February 1866, but his diary survived and has become a classic of its kind. It is often used as “primary source” material by Civil War historians who want to get a first-hand, eyewitness account of what it was like to live and work in the Confederacy’s national capital during the war.
