About
The author of this website is George Gilbert, and I am a history major in my sophomore year at Dickinson College. This website is designed for future students taking history methodology courses at Dickinson College or elsewhere. However, Charles F. Thomas lived an eventful life at an important time in American history, and I believe many non-students would be interested in his diary and his life.
