                <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://collections.americanantiquarian.org/earlyamericannewsmedia/items/browse?tag=Scrapbooks"&gt;Scrapbooks&lt;/a&gt; were a common way for people in both the North and the South to process and keep a record of the war. Thus, they provide insights into what people were reading, what they were feeling, and what kinds of information they found important. A personal take on a collective event provides a powerful sense of authenticity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;This authenticity was central to the publication of &lt;em&gt;Confederate Scrap-Book&lt;/em&gt;, which boasts the subtitle &amp;ldquo;Copied from a scrap-book kept by a young girl during and immediately after the war.&amp;rdquo; Published almost thirty years after the end of the war for a Memorial Bazaar in Richmond, Virginia, this book, though reproduced only in content and not aesthetic, holds on tightly to its provenance as a wartime scrapbook to give it authority. As the dedication notes, the author, Lizzie Cary Daniel (1848-1915), put the publication together with &amp;ldquo;nothing of my own but the love of &amp;lsquo;soldier and cause&amp;rsquo; which prompted the preservation of these clippings in my childhood.&amp;rdquo; She dedicates it to her father, &amp;ldquo;himself a faithful soldier and patriot, whose teaching and example have been the inspiration of his children, as his unblemished life is their priceless heritage.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Within its pages there are news articles, official military and government orders, and popular music and poems from the Confederacy.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americanantiquarian.org/proceedings/44806627.pdf"&gt;Nathaniel Paine&lt;/a&gt; (1832-1917) was a prominent Worcester banker and civic leader who counted among his friends and mentors Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909) and Senator George Frisbie Hoar (1826-1904). An avid lifelong collector, he was a &lt;a href="http://www.americanantiquarian.org/memberlist"&gt;member of the American Antiquarian Society&lt;/a&gt; for sixty-six years and served on its Council for sixty.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;As part of his collecting activities, he kept &lt;a href="https://collections.americanantiquarian.org/earlyamericannewsmedia/items/browse?tag=Scrapbooks"&gt;scrapbooks&lt;/a&gt; on a variety of topics, including the Civil War. Paine had this volume, called &lt;em&gt;A Record of the War of Secession, Vol. I&lt;/em&gt;, created and bound specifically for his scrapbooking purposes. It includes portraits of important men and local soldiers, but mostly it is a series of newspaper clippings about war news that would be of particular interest to people in Worcester. As the typed preface states, “The matter contained in the following pages, consists of a collection of cuttings from various local newspapers of the day, showing the part taken by the citizens of Worcester and vicinity, in their efforts to assist the government of the United States, in suppressing the rebellion of the Southern States.” It makes the newspaper central to the development of the war and illustrates how civilians, in both the North and South, were closely following the news and processing what they were reading.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
