A review by brookamimi
Down the Rabbit Hole, Chicago, Illinois, 1871: The Diary of Pringle Rose by Susan Campbell Bartoletti

3.0

3.5 rounding down. I was surprised that this came from the same author as some of my favorite Dear America installments. There are pacing choices that make it seem more like a regular novel shoehorned into a journal format and the actual historical moment to be discussed tossed in in place of an actual resolution. That said, I could barely put it down bc after 20 years, I may never find a Dear America book I don't mostly like.
