The Diary of Sarah Pearson

This page is preliminary but becoming fairly complete.

This is the latest version of all these files. The Google Map is an actual Google map so you can zoom in and out.

Please look for errors.  The original words are all in black.  The blue words, red words, footnotes and pictures are all part of my additions.  I am trying to keep the original words true to the typed copy we have.   My words are completely subject to change.
