Meinung, materials relating to reunions and other activities of Confederate veterans, and other scrapbook material added by Lineback, probably after 1900, about 390 pages; and a third volume containing extracts from the expanded diary, which were published in the in 1914. This last volume also contains North Carolina and Confederate currency issued during the Civil War. In the various versions of the diary, Lineback discussed, in some detail, movements of his regiment; camp life; engagements with Federal troops, including the Battle of Gettysburg; care of battle casualties, band members also functioning as medical aids; musical activities of the band; and other related matters.
