http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/24470520

Civil War diary of Lyons, a New York City cigar maker and English immigrant, who served in Virginia with the 71st New York Regiment, 1862- 1863, and the 120th New York Regiment, 1864-1865. Entries from 1862 and 1863 are sketchy; those from 1864 and 1865 are more detailed, describing camping, marching, picketing, skirmishes, battles, and casualties. Of the three volumes, two are somewhat differing versions of entries for 1862 and 1863.
