http://www2.lib.unc.edu/mss/inv/m/McMichael,James_Robert.html

James Robert McMichael (1835-1893) was a Confederate officer who served with the 12th Georgia Infantry Regiment. The collection includes a photocopy of a typed transcription of the diary, July 1864-June 1865, kept by McMichael, while he was a prisoner at Fort Delaware, Del, Morris Island, S.C., and Cockspur Island near Savannah, Ga., with memoranda, names of fellow prisoners, a roll of his company, and seven letters to him chiefly about items being sent to him by relatives and friends. Diary entries describe prison conditions, McMichael's health, and his feelings about imprisonment, harsh treatment he received, and the Confederacy.
