Tyson, Robert A.
Robert A. Tyson was a Federal soldier in the 46th Indiana Regiment stationed in Louisiana during the Civil War. He purchased this diary in New Orleans, December 7, 1863. Tyson had evidently re-enlisted as a veteran private soldier, and soon after the diary commences, he makes application for a commission. His commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the Corps d'Afrique of Banks' army was granted in March 1864. Tyson participated in General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign.
