Civil War diary of Williamson Whitehead while serving as a clerk in the 1st North Carolina Regiment on the Virginia peninsula and in North Carolina, and postwar business papers and account books from Fayetteville, N.C., relating chiefly to building, shipping, purchasing, the bankruptcy of a merchant firm, and rental property for which Whitehead was an agent. The diary covers the period 31 August-10 December 1861, with a few later entries.
