During the seventy-five years that Dall kept a diary, she captured all the fascinating details of her sometimes agonizing personal life, and she also wrote about all the major figures who surrounded her. Her diary, filling forty-five volumes, is perhaps the longest running diary ever written by any American and the most complete account of a nineteenth-century woman’s life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaughter of Boston,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003escholar Helen Deese has painstakingly combed through these diaries and created a single fascinating volume of Dall’s observations, judgments, descriptions, and reactions.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44126832066648,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0334\/1144\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-21at11.17.23AM.png?v=1779376651","url":"https:\/\/nesketchbook.com\/products\/daughter-of-boston","provider":"New England Sketch Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
