In the days before social media, blogs, gossip magazines and tell-all books- people kept journals to describe their day-to-day. But, what if your day to day involves  living through one of most devastating plagues in human history? Samuel Pepys took the opportunity to journal the mundane, the devastation, his womanizing, his cat and the local gossip- in a series of personal journals from 1660-1669.
