Elbridge W. Prior Diaries

1862

Given his dedication to making entries in his 1862, 1863 and 1864 diaries, Prior probably kept a diary in 1861, but it hasn't been discovered. In 1862, except for a brief period of sickness in hospital, Prior made at least some basic entry for almost every date, much more detail in some.
