Notebooks, 1886-1889, of John Levering containing parts of two unpublished manuscripts, "Recollections of the Civil War, 1861-66," and "Lee's advance and retreat in the Cheat Mountain Campaign in 1861." Levering's "Recollections" is a detailed narrative of his wartime experiences as quartermaster of the Second Brigade of Indiana Volunteer Militia and his account of the Cheat Mountain Campaign is significant because it was Robert E. Lee's first campaign of the war.
