In between were short descriptions of actions, often mentioning heavy fighting, men in the company being killed, and his movements to and from the front. Early September and mid-December entries mention the taking of Atlanta and Savannah, respectively. The final part of the diary covered Chase's post-war life in his hometown of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin from April to August 1899. Entries are similar with descriptions of the weather, Chase's health, and some activities such as buying a house. Also included in the collection is a short biographical sketch of Chase by his descendant, Clifford Chase.
