Abstract

These three diaries were written between 1848 and 1856 by Esther Euphemia Potter. Potter entered the Select School in Alfred, New York (now Alfred University) in 1845 and attended finishing school in Brooklyn, New York. By 1856 she had married a doctor, William Wells Crandall. Potter was devoutly religious and attended sermons of Henry Beecher Ward and Dr. Cox, in addition to describing the general street scenes in Brooklyn. The diaries are dated 1848, 1850 and 1856.
