My journey reading and researching a diary from Brooklyn, New York, 1917. Anglesea, the diary writer, turned 18 years old during the year of the diary. Through her eyes, we see the experience of a young Brooklyn socialite on the cusp of adulthood, all while the United States is making its entrance into World War 1.

Another day in the life of Anglesea in her diary, which was written over 100 years ago in 1917. Anglesea was a young Brooklyn socialite at the cusp of adulthood, and her entries give us a glimpse at her daily life during World War I. #history #diary #historical stories #newyorkhistory #worldwar1
