Papers, 1862-1864, 1903.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54101911

Diaries, Oct. 16, 1862-May 31, 1864, are an interesting account of his regiments activities across Tennessee at Nashville, Danville, Franklin and then to Chattanooga and Chickamauga. Detailed daily entries give a picture of camp life, regiment news, marching, skirmishes, contact with the rebels, the different towns they pass through, people they meet, generals who visit, and his long experience in the hospital in Tennessee and at Quincy, Illinois. Two letters, 1903, to his daughter, written while on a trip to Chattanooga tell of his visit and recount his war experiences there. Discharge document. An essay titled "Chickamauga" gives a ten page account of the battle.
