http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/241374899

August Bondi's Civil War diary describes daily activities of a Union noncommissioned officer in the West. The Biographical sketch of: August Bondi, 24 September 1903 (ser. A), is a brief account of his life. The most significant document in the collection is undoubtedly the Personal reminiscences of August Bondi, 25 April 1903 (ser. B), a narrative of his life prior to coming to Kansas & his return to Missouri in 1852, writings about political events in Missouri, descriptions of various jobs he held, his first trip to Kansas Territory, his brief stay in Douglas County, his return to Saint Louis, strife in territorial Kansas, and his service in the 5th Kansas Cavalry. He described the Confederate attack on his regiment at Pine Bluff, Ark., 25 October 1863. Correspondence, 1884-1952 (ser. C), supplements his personal reminiscences. Correspondence for 1903 is between Bondi and G. W. Martin, secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society (Topeka) about the republication of his articles about John Brown; letters give biographical information about Bondi's colleague Freeman Austin and provide details of his experiences with Brown and others during the territorial period.
