http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/207172587

The diary consists of brief daily entries from October 1862 through July 1863. Stanton discussed his health and the weather, conditions of camp life and supplies, his military duties, enemy encounters, and observations as his regiment moved from recruitment camp in Concord, New Hampshire to New York City and on to New Orleans and north along the Mississippi River. He apparently died in Buffalo, New York, on his journey home. The diary also includes accounts of Stanton's expenditures during his enlistment and two recipes for beverages "fit for drink."
