Diary, William Shepherd, 1854
File — Box: 1, Folder: 2
Identifier: MSN/EA 8005-2
Scope and Contents
The diary contains brief entries for all but one day of 1854. Among the events commented on at some length are: the loss of the steamship Arctic; the apprehension of the fugitive slave Anthony Burns in Boston; political successes of the Know Nothings; and a sensational local double-murder case, perpetrated by a man named Hewitt. Most of the clippings probably derive from the Boston Journal.
