Jacob Lyons Diary, . 1862-1865

http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/l/Lyons,Jacob.html

Jacob Lyons (fl. 1862-1865) was a New York, N.Y., cigar maker and English immigrant who served in the United States army during the Civil War. The collection includes the Civil War diary of Lyons while serving in Virginia with the 71st New York Regiment, 1862-1863, and the 120th New York Regiment, 1864-1865. Entries from 1862 and 1863 are sketchy; those from 1864 and 1865 are more detailed, describing camping, marching, picketing, skirmishes, battles, and casualties. Of the three volumes, two are somewhat differing versions of entries for 1862 and 1863.
