A lawyer and relief worker during the war, Strong’s entries from 1861–1865 brim with vivid detail, but also seethe with contempt for Irish immigrants, Mediterranean newcomers, abolitionists, and politicians. His venom peaked during the 1863 Draft Riots, when anger over conscription inequality erupted into violent mobs targeting Black communities. Though deeply flawed and biased, his journals remain indispensable—offering historians an intimate, if uncomfortable, portrait of a nation tearing itself apart.
