460. HENRY MARSHALL DIARY

1 item, 1824
Diary written on a walking trip from Philadelphia, to his home in Society Hill, South Carolina. Marshall made a few observations on blacks, such as an entry on November 1, 1824, in which he compared the differences between blacks on either side of the Blue Ridge; he believed those blacks on the eastern side were more deferential. On November 7, 1824, he wrote of slaves near the Dan River who he believed "do as they please."
