Title: William R. Buchanan Diary, 1864

William R. Buchanan of Philadelphia, Pa., served with Company A of the 29th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment. During this time, his unit was posted in Atlanta, Ga., where he was company clerk, working on the books and muster rolls, and later marched across Georgia with General William T. Sherman into Savannah, Ga. The collection consists of a small pocket diary kept by Buchanan between 25 February-31 December 1864, which contains brief entries about daily concerns, his health, weather conditions, and his position as company clerk. He records the movements of the 29th Pennsylvania from Bridgeport, Ala., to Atlanta, Ga., and Sherman's march to Savannah, Ga. The entries detail miles marched, the conditions of the march, and the burning of railroad tracks along the way. Buchanan briefly mentions a review of his unit by Sherman on 30 December 1864, and the parade of the Savannah firemen on 31 December 1864, the last entry of the diary. The diary also contains a short ledger of Buchanan's expenses as well as a list of letters he had received while serving in the army.
