http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50057462

Diary is bound in brown cloth with Fortin & Cie stamped in blue ink on the inside front cover. Text is handwritten in ink on lined paper numbered by hand from 1 to 291, and contains Munshower's comments on French city and country life and scenery, on the French, English, and German people, paticularly disparaging what Munshower perceives as English arrogance and German immorality. He gives a vivid picture of a common American soldier's daily life and the hazards of travel by ship and rail, both in the United States and in Europe.
