http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23294922

Diary reminiscence of Virgil S. Murphey, Confederate colonel, 17th Alabama Regiment. Pages 1-131, presumably written in early January 1865, recount his experiences from his capture at the battle of Franklin, Tenn., 30 November 1864 to 17 January 1865; during most of this period, Murphey was a prisoner at Johnson's Island, Ohio. Actual diary entries begin with 18 January (p. 132) and conclude with 17 February 1865 (p. 202), with Murphey still a prisoner at Johnson's Island. Final pages of the volume contain miscellaneous notes of addresses, expenses, etc.
