The Diary of George Templeton Strong, Edited by Allan Nevins and Milton Halsey Thomas
While poking around the net looking for info about the Don Giovanni performance attended by Mr. Strong and company I accidently discovered that the New York Daily Tribune , Horace Greeley’s Republican newspaper, is available for viewing. The Don Giovanni production, starring Madame Anna La Grange, has notices in both the October 7 and October 8 editions (top of page 1 on both days). I haven’t figured out how to print articles from it in anything approaching a legible form, but it is not hard to read them on screen using the magnification features. I saw stories about the financial panic and the sinking of the Central America on the pages. I recommend the site for browsing purposes.
