Publisher's Synopsis
Take a step back in time as Daniel Christman's life is chronicled through his daily diary writings. It begins on Thursday January 4, 1865 with this entry: this is the Day I got Mearied And We got Marid at George Rickers And Preacher Zimmerman Maried us At 2 Oclock in the afternoon And My Mother was their to. He tells of his post Civil War work on the farm and sawmill, as well as the sad account of the birth of their stillborn son so they so wanted. It will take you through 3 1/2 years of his life. You will chuckle at the spelling and grammar as you ponder how it would be to return to that simpler life! This was translated from the original diary that was written in German in what is believed to have been the late 1970's. This edition is the actual scan of the translated version. There are several pages that may be difficult to read at times. This is not a printing error, rather the actual copy of the translated page.
