Reviews

Glenn Reynolds has done the academic community a great service by bringing these journals to light. But Garner's diaries should appeal to an audience beyond academia. Her narrative provides a snapshot of one American's world view at the cusp of the 'American century.' Garner's diaries are particularly valuable because they contribute a woman's voice into the dialogue about early colonial film-making.--J. M. Burns
