Zina Woodhouse Civil War diary, 1863-1864.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123032556

Woodhouse kept this daily account of his wartime experiences in a printed Daily pocket remembrancer for 1863. The first sixteen pages contain a printed monthly calendar. Each diary page contains three days and Woodhouse records brief entries noting his activities: laundry, practicing the drum, marching (including locations), writing and receiving letters from home, drawing pay, and the named deaths of his comrades. On the memoranda pages he lists the places his regiment marched to, and lists names of men from whom he either borrowed or loaned money and the amount. In the cash account section he lists his pay received and continues his diary entries from 1-31 January (with entries only through the 24th). On blank pages at the back of the book he copied out the poem, The Indian Lament. On the endpapers he records additional financial accounts. Woodhouse records the deaths of Wilber Hubberd [William F. Hubbard], 27 Mar. 1863; Samuel Stewart (Co. H), 24 May 1863; David McCann, 16 June 1863; Elisha Wright (Co. C), 12 August 1863; Daniel O. Day (Co. F), 7 Sept. 1863; and Charles Harridon [Charles A. Harrdon] (Co. D), 20 Oct. 1863.
