CAMBRIDGE BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1862. On offer is the 1862 diary of Isaac S. Pear owner of a Massachusetts factory and business manufacturing spring and cot beds and specialties in folding furniture. Pear speaks often of his day-to-day activities and his business which he writes have been negatively affected by the ongoing and bloody Civil War. The entries range from short concise entries of the weather to longer ones directly related to his business activities at the time. There are also reports of the Civil War battles won and lost and the general feeling of the people around him usually a mixture of exhaustion and anxiety. He obviously keeps tabs on the war especially as it reflects the effect on regiments and people from Massachusetts and his entries reflect this often. It seems about the middle of the year Pears factory begins making cots and beds for the Union Army. A call goes out in August for men to volunteer for the Union. For a few weeks Pear closes his store and factory at 2pm in aid of recruiting. He mentions that stores that did not close early were shut down by a mob. There also seems to be a dour attitude about the situation as Pear often reports the amount who have died in the war and the despondent look of the soldiers who return. The situation does not look good at all through Pears eyes. He also mentions people he knew by name who have died in the war. The Memoranda and Cash Accounts section of the diary contain a number of pages of detailed lists of items bought and paid for money received from clients at the store and money paid out to employees many of whom seem to be family. The book is approximately 380 pages of which there is writing in 300 or so. The cover is soft black leather with a wrap around portion meant to slide into a little loop however the loop no longer exists. It says Diary 1862 on the front. It shows a good bit of wear throughout. The pages show some discoloration and wear especially near the front and back but nothing that affects legibility. Pear wrote in pencil throughout the book and there is some smudging on certain pages that can affect legibility however these entries can be read with a bit of effort made easier under direct light. His handwriting is easy to read and legible throughout. The book is in overall good condition. Sample entries: Friday February 7 1862. Quite and warm all day. The snow thawed considerably.
