The 1864 volume deals with Bacon's experiences as an officer in the Ninth Georgia Regiment, including movement and engagements in the fall of 1864, with a map of the area around Bull Run and twenty- eight pages of extracts from letters Bacon had written home, August- November 1861. The 1868 volume concerns Bacon's trip from Macon, Ga., to New York City to attend the Democratic National Convention, and political meetings and related business in Georgia; it includes a copy of a speech Bacon delivered on September 5 in Covington, Ga.
