Henry Gerard Hall diary
This collection consists of a photocopy reproduction of Henry Gerard Hall's diary. Hall was a Shreveport attorney, educated at Princeton University in the 1850s, and was later a Caddo Parish judge in the 1870s. His diary (1870 January 1 - 1873 October) includes information on activities in and around Shreveport and is particularly important for its account of the yellow fever epidemic (1873 August - October). Judge Hall himself succumbed to the fever.
