Just love reading James Stevens words as he wrote them: "February 23 – Cut a batten 20 ft long and made trough and rack for the calves. Much rain falling this last week. Great war on with South Africa." "October 26 – Drove mare and trap to St Ives. Bought 500 pilchards at 1s 4d per 120."
This diary gave me a great insight into the daily life of a 19th-century Cornish farmer, which I needed as I began to write my book.
From Sue's list on Cornish history.
