Papers, 1861-1907 (bulk 1861-1864).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/29171190

The collection contains a journal (1861-1864), discharge and G.A.R. papers, and clippings. The journal, kept during Heuring's Civil War service, deals with his duties as chaplain and his concern about getting wounded soldiers home to recuperate instead of sending them to military hospitals. The journal, kept on a day-by-day basis, also gives Heuring's personal feelings on a number of military topics.
