The diary of Thomas. Kindre records the personal observation. The diary is a significant document in that Kindre was not only a college graduate, but an officer. Although some parts resemble those found in diaries of his fellow soldiers, his comparatively more erudite style of writing is apparent. Kindre was more interested in developing a scenic narrative than a record of his routine activities. Moreover, his journalism major in college probably influenced not only on his writing style, but his observations, interpretations, and reasons for recording certain experiences during his tour.
