Civil War diary of Irwin C. Fox [manuscript], 1861-1862, 1865.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647921867

Fox's diary, portions of which are missing or out of chronological order, includes detailed accounts of marches, camps, disease, rumors, troop movements and campaigns, especially around Cheat Mountain under future Union General Robert Milroy, and around the Shenandoah Valley and Fredericksburg. Some particularly interesting passages include a description of a train derailment, reporting on Lee's surrender and Lincoln's assassination, and camp life at the end of the Civil War when soldiers were waiting to be sent home.
