Journals and diaries are rarely as interesting as one might hope but this one certainly has promise. The diary of one of the members of the American Piano dynasty at an interesting time in the nation's history. What is really cool is that the manuscripts or rather transcriptions will be available to all online. In all honesty I probably would be willing to by an edited and annotated version of this because undoubtedly there will be a lot of useless info without some historical and/or personal context.
