The Diarist

"In thus keeping dates I am made to wonder at the flight of time, it hardly seems possible that so many months have elapsed since I have been writing down a few words each day." With these words, Emily Millikan Blair summarized her life as a prolific diarist. Her journal, Until We Sleep Our Last Sleep, won the North Carolina Genealogical Society Award for Excellence in Publishing: A Publication Relevant to North Carolina Genealogy. This timeless companion book features unlined pages for diarists to record their thoughts, as well as excerpts from Ms. Blair's own hand to guide their journaling.
