Barnett Diary, 1862 (Ms2012-075) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource A diary with one-page entries for the year of 1862. A few pages of memoranda follow on which Barnett has listed miscellaneous clothing expenses and his pay record for the year. The diary describes his time in hospital in January and February, as well as from September through December. These latter entries include his work as a nurse, particularly tending to the wounded following the battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862. Camp life and routine, visits with his brother Henry, and brief trips into Washington D.C. are among the topics mentioned. Barnett also mentions review of the division by President Lincoln, General McDowell, and Secretary Stanton in May near Fredericksburg and again by Lincoln and McClellan in July near Harrison's Landing. The diary includes descriptions of battle at Mechanicsville, Gaines' Mill, Frazier's Farm, and Malvern Hill in the Seven Day's campaign and at the Second Battle of Bull Run. William W. Barnett was born in Pennsylvania on 15 September 1840 and raised in Armstrong Co. in western Pennsylvania by parents Alexander and Hannah Barnett. The 1860 census shows him living in the Borough of Freeport of that county as a 19 year-old student with his parents; brothers Henry B. (age 21), Robert A. (age 10), Hezekiah W. (age 9); and sister Emily W. (age 16). He enlisted as a private in Co. A, 8th Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps (PRVC), also known as the 37th Volunteers, on 15 May 1861, a few days after his brother Henry enlisted in Co. G, 9th PRVC. The 8th and the 9th saw duty in and around Washington D.C., before marching to Hunter's Mill in Fairfax Co. on 10 March 1862 and returning to Alexandria four days later. Barnett would see action in Virginia during June at Mechanicsville and Gaines Mill in the Seven Days Campaign and, later that summer, at the second battle of Bull Run. Before his regiment engaged at Antietam in mid-September 1862, Barnett fell ill and was left behind at Harewood Hospital in Northeast Washington on the farm of W. W. Corcoran. On 27 September, he was assigned to duty as a nurse at the hospital, and though he would become sick again before the end of 1862, he would finish the year serving at the hospital. He was discharged from service with the rank of private on a Surgeon's Certificate on 20 March 1863, some three months after his brother Henry was similarly discharged. After, presumably, returning home to western Pennsylvania, Barnett responded to the local call to form the 5th Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery (also known as the 204th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers) in August 1864. He was mustered in as a private, Battery M, on 2 September 1864. The regiment saw duty in the defense of Washington and along the Manassas Gap Railroad with engagements following at Salem and Rectortown in October 1864 before returning to Washington. Barnett was promoted to Sergeant and on 19 January 1865 was promoted to Second Lieutenant. He returned to Pittsburgh and mustered out with his battery on 30 June 1865. Very little of Barnett's later life is known. An annotation added at a later date to Barnett's 1862 diary entry for 29 January reads, "Son of W. W. Barnett Wyllie Barnett was born January Friday 29 1875 - W. W. Barnett died Tuesday September 29 1876." A pension claim filed on 18 September 1890 by his widow cites the date of his death as Sept. 26 1876. As to the identity of his wife, nothing is known for certain, although the 1880 census does show a Rebecca Barnett living in the eastern Ohio county of Tuscarawas with her parents, Thomas and Sarah Laughead along with her five-year-old son, William Barnett.

Pittenger, a soldier serving in the 93rd Illinois Infantry and the U. S. Army Signal Corps during the Civil War. The diary's entries span the first half of 1863 through 1864 and touch on such matters as camp life, the U. S. Army's advance down the Mississippi River, and the siege of Vicksburg. (Pittenger made no entries for most of March 1863, as he was bedridden with smallpox). The diary also contains names and addresses of Pittenger's comrades, records of financial transactions, and a list of soldiers from Co. D, 93rd Illinois Infantry killed at Champion Hill. William J. Pittenger, son of Abraham and Elizabeth Gladfelter Pittenger, was born in Ohio in 1838. While working as a Missouri schoolteacher in 1862, Pittenger enlisted in Company D of the 93rd Illinois Infantry. In February 1863, he was assigned to the U. S. Army Signal Corps. Pittenger contracted small pox one month later but resumed duties in April and participated in the siege of Vicksburg and, later, in Sherman's march to the sea. He mustered out with his regiment in June, 1865. In 1867, Pittenger married Ella Shafer (1850-1899); the couple would have five children. In 1879, the Pittengers moved from Illinois to Wichita, Kansas, where William Pittenger became a prominent farmer. A member of the I. O. O. F., Pittenger served as a member of the local school board and as a township trustee. He died in 1896, and is buried in Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, Sedgwick County, Kansas.

Title A name given to the resource John Henning Woods Papers, 1856-1873 (Ms2017-030) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource This collection includes three memoir volumes and three diaries written by John Henning Woods, a Southern Unionist, Confederate conscript, and Civil War memoirist. Woods was born in Tennessee on July 4, 1834. After spending his childhood in Missouri, Woods married Mary Emma Caldwell, the daughter of a wealthy slaveholder and planter from Alabama in 1860. In 1861, Woods moved to Lebanon, Tennessee, to pursue his law degree at Cumberland University. Despite his ties to the South, Woods hated slavery and strongly supported the Union. Following the war's beginning and interruption of his education, he returned home to farm and teach. Due to his support for the Union, Woods chose to remain at home throughout the beginning of the war until his conscription into the Confederate army in October of 1862. While at first Woods fought to remain at home, the threat of imprisonment eventually sparked him to report to the army, where he was drafted into the 36th Alabama Infantry Regiment, Company K. As a part of this regiment, Woods was trained at Talladega and then posted around Mobile, Alabama. While at Mobile, Woods and a few fellow Unionist conscripts formed a secret Unionist organization called the Home Circle and planned a mutiny. Unfortunately, Woods was discovered prior to their planned mutiny and imprisoned to be tried. While awaiting his court martial, Woods was transported behind the army, following them through the Tullahoma Campaign and was then sent to Atlanta. His trial resulted in a sentence of death by firing squad; however, his execution was delayed due to the interference of a sympathetic general who had been his professor before the war. Woods saw the Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga while imprisoned by the Confederate Army until he was once again sent to Atlanta following a stay of execution, furnished at the last minute from Jefferson Davis. He was then sent to work building trenches around Atlanta until he finally escaped Confederate officials on August 11, 1864, and made his way into Union lines. Following his escape, Woods made his way to Buffalo, New York, where he enlisted in the 93rd New York Infantry Regiment. He served out the rest of the war as a clerk for the Union Army until his discharge on May 11, 1865. Following the war, Woods returned home and continued to teach, moving to Lawrence County, Missouri sometime before 1885. In 1885, his wife Mary died and in 1889, he married Mae Laverall of Pennsylvania. Woods died on March 5, 1901, and is buried alongside both of his wives and his daughter in the Woodland Cemetery near Springfield, Missouri. The three volumes of Woods' memoir make up the largest portion of the collection. These three books focus on the years 1861-1864, describing his experiences of sectionalism, his opposition to secession and conscription, the process of forming an underground Unionist society in a Confederate regiment, his arrest for inciting a mutiny, and the resulting imprisonment and trial. The three journals cover a much broader range of topics and years, including genealogy, religion, marriage, slavery, and Woods' childhood. These three journals serve to contextualize the journals, as Woods referenced them during the writing process. Besides this, these journals also contain highly detailed drawings done by Woods during his imprisonment and a number of short entries in Pitman shorthand.

Description An account of the resource Travel sketch produced by Sigrid Rupp on an architectural study trip in Guanejuato, Mexico, November 15, 1988. Sigrid Lorenzen Rupp was born January 3, 1943, in Bremerhaven, Germany. She studied architecture at the University of California-Berkeley, received her California state license in 1971, and practiced for many years in the Bay Area. An ardent champion for women’s rights, Rupp stated that she became involved in women’s issues “…simply because I did not want there to be any [women's issues]. It seemed that the time for gender differences should be long over." She was a mentor to many women and minorities in the course of her practice encouraging and facilitating their entry into architecture.After retiring from architectural practice, Rupp became a prolific painter and traveler. Her watercolors primarily focused on California bay area landscapes and were featured in several local juried shows. She traveled extensively documenting her experiences in beautifully illustrated and annotated travel diaries.

Title A name given to the resource The John Harville Diaries, 1861-1864 (Ms2010-053) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource John McBride Harville (also spelled Harvill) was born in Illinois on January 29, 1839. His family seems to have moved to Beetown, Wisconsin, around 1843, though other records indicate this may have occurred later. Before the early death of his mother when he was five, his parents appeared to have had three other children: Caroline (later Young), who Harville refers to as "Carrie" or "Cary" in his diaries; William; and Elizabeth (later Nickerson), who Harville calls "Lib." For several years, he lived with a foster family (the Sargents). His father, William, remarried and had five more children. By the start of the Civil War, Harville was living with the Batie family in Tafton, Wisconsin. Although Tafton did not have enough men to raise its own company, volunteers from the area, including Harville, joined others to form Company F, 7th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry in Lancaster during the summer of 1861. Harville served primarily in and around Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864. In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913. The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the "Iron Brigade" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers. Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp. The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, MD, facing chronic illness. Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the "Reader" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated. Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment. While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.

The Lookout, or Central Turret.—2. The Revolving Tower, with<br />two tiers of Guns.—3. The Foundation.<br />&nbsp;<br />SINCE the day when the <i>Monitor</i> engaged<br />the <i>Merrimac</i> in Hampton Roads it has<br />been acknowledged that in the Revolving Tower<br />a new and powerful element has been introduced<br />into naval warfare. We propose in this paper<br />to give the history of the origin and progress of<br />this invention; to show that only a small por-<br />tion of its capabilities have been brought into<br />actual use; and that, as developed in the mind<br />of its inventor, it will not only render practical-<br />ly useless the ponderous iron-clad vessels which<br />the French and English are constructing at such<br />enormous cost, but will also make all of our<br />great harbors absolutely impregnable to the com-<br />bined navies of the world. The inventor of the<br />Revolving Tower, as we shall show from unim-<br />peachable documentary evidence, is THEODORE<br />R. TIMBY, an American citizen, a native of the<br />State of New York.<br />ITS INVENTOR.<br />&nbsp;<br />[Line drawing of a white man in profile from the shoulder up. He has slightly curly hair, a receding hairline and is wearing a coat and tie.] &nbsp;<br />THEODORE B. TIMBY.<br />&nbsp;<br />The Washington dispatch to the New York<br />Associated Press, of October 1, 1862, contained the following paragraph :</td> <td>"Mr. Timby has the broad patent from the United States<br />for a revolving tower for land and water fortifications.<br />This is acknowledged to be a great national invention, and<br />is fully awarded to American genius and industry."<br />&nbsp;<br />The idea of a revolving tower for stationary<br />and floating fortresses was conceived by Mr.<br />Timby when a mere boy. His first actual model<br />was completed in July, 1841, he being then<br />nineteen years old. This model, an engraving<br />of which appears at the head of this article, is<br />before us as we write. If is of ivory, about<br />four inches in height and nine or ten in cir-<br />cumference. It contains the germs of the whole<br />invention; not merely of those parts which have<br />been applied in the "Monitors" already built,<br />but embracing other principles of still higher<br />importance which are more fully developed in<br />the towers which are to be described.<br />Mr. Timby files his first caveat and specifica-<br />tions in the United States Patent Office on the<br />18th of January 1843. These specifications<br />were for "a revolving metallic tower, and for a<br />revolving tower for a floating battery to be pro-<br />pelled by steam." This document thus placed<br />on official record, shows beyond all possibility of<br />cavil that more than twenty years ago Mr. Timby<br />had not only conceived the general idea of a re-<br />volving gun-tower, but had brought it into prac-<br />tical form, and laid public legal claim to his in-<br />vention—a claim which has never been abandon-<br />ed or legally contested; and which, as will be<br />shown, has been at last fully secured. This<br />official record of the invention, it will be ob-<br />served, antedates by many years any claim ad-<br />vanced by any other person. No man living,<br />as far as we are aware, has ever pretended to<br />have even thought of the thing until long after<br />Mr. Timby had published it to the world, and<br />had publicly exhibited a complete working model<br />on a large scale. He had meanwhile, during the<br />winter of 1842-3, been busily engaged in the con-<br />struction of a large iron-clad model, seven feet<br />in diameter. This was built at Syracuse, New<br />York, at a cost of several thousand dollars.<br />Many men who were then residents of that place<br />remember the fair-haired young man who was<br />building an iron revolving fortress. This model<br />was completed early in the spring, and was taken<br />to New York for exhibition. It was shown on<br />the 13th of June, 1843, in the Governor's room<br />in the City Hall, to President Tyler and his<br />Cabinet, who were then on their way to attend<br />the celebration of the completion of the Bunker<br />Hill Monument. It was before and afterwards<br />publicly exhibited in New York and also in other<br />places. It was noticed and described at con-<br />siderable length, and with more or less correct-<br />ness, in the various newspapers of the day, some-<br />times with and sometimes without mention of<br />the name of the inventor. The following is a<br />portion of an article which appeared in the New<br />York <i>Herald</i> of June 7, 1843 :<br />&nbsp;<br />"REVOLVING STEAM BATTERY.—We yesterday visited<br />the performance of a new instrument of warfare, or rather<br />an old instrument on a new principle.

The whole frame, weighing one ton, was<br />moved round in a circle by two steam engines of one-horse<br />power, and as fast as each gun came round to bear upon a<br />certain point it was discharged, the revolution being regu-<br />lated so as to allow sufficient time to load after discharg-<br />ing before the gun came round to the place of firing. The<br />whole arrangement was pronounced by several military<br />gentlemen who were present to be perfect so far as this<br />experiment was concerned; but as to the success of the<br />principle on a large scale, some doubt was expressed. . . . .<br />Should the plan succeed on an extended scale, it would be<br />one of the most tremendous and effective engines of de-<br />fense ever invented."<br />&nbsp;<br />The New York <i>Evening Post</i> of the same date (June 7, 1843) says:<br />"On the corner of Greenwich and Liberty streets there<br />is a model of a battery, which is of a novel and destructive<br />character. It is erected in a circular form, and presents<br />four tiers of guns. The plan of the battery is, indeed, sim-<br />ilar to any other of that form. The important difference<br />conists in the manner by which its armament is brought<br />to bear upon an object. For this purpose it is made to re-<br />volve upon its centre, and if this revolution is performed<br />in one minute and the armament comprises a hundred<br />guns, each one of them may in that period of time be dis-<br />charged at the object. In no other way can so great a<br />number of guns be brough to bear upon an object in so<br />short a time. It is designed to put this in practive by erect-<br />ing a circular fort of 50 or 100 feet in diameter, of plates of<br />wrought iron. By means of steam power under ground,<br />which shall cause it to revolve on its centre, all the guns<br />of this fort will be brought to bear at each revolution on a<br />given object."<br />These contemporary records, to which many<br />more might be added, are abundant evidence of<br />the publicity which was given to the invention.<br />Mr. Timby continued still further to develop his<br />idea, constructed several new models, and filed<br />additional specifications in the Patent Office.<br />He pressed the adoption of the plan upton Gov-<br />ernment year after year, but with no success.<br />Its practicability was not denied; but it was said<br />that it was unnecessary. Our existing fortifica-<br />tions, it was affirmed, were all that could be de-<br />sired, and far more that were needed; the forts<br />which guarded our harbors were garrisoned by<br />a corporal's guard and tenanted only by bats.<br />In 1856 he visited France, and laid his inven-<br />tion before the French Government, but without<br />success. At length in July, 1848, he succeeded<br />in securing a favorable report to Mr. Marcy, then<br />Secretary of War, from Jefferson Davis, D. L.<br />Yulee, F. H. Elmore, and Dixon H. Lewis,<br />then United States Senators, and Colonel Bum-<br />ord, Chief of the Ordnance Bureau; but no-<br />thing was then done in the matter.<br />At the outbreak of the rebellion in 1861, Mr.<br />Timby sprang at once to the development and<br />practical application of his favorite engine of<br />war—or rather of peace, for ever addition to<br />the destructive power of engines of war is really<br />a new guarantee for peace. He soon produced<br />his fifth model, embodying all the improvements<br />which he had made during the eighteen years<br />which had passed since the date of his first caveat.<br />This was exhibited to Governors Sprague of<br />Rhode Island, and Washburn of Maine, and soon<br />after at the Treasury Department in Washing-<br />ton to the heads of the Departments, members<br />of Congress, foreign Ministers, and officers of<br />the Army and Navy. There was now no doubt</td> <td>of the necessity of additional harbor defenses,<br />and the practical utility of revolving batteries<br />was no longer a matter of speculation. The<br />records of the Patent Office showed that Mr.<br />Timby was the sole and absolute inventor of this,<br />and that from the first he had continually kept<br />his claim aliver. His right to a patent was there-<br />fore incontrovertible, and he received one from<br />the United States, covering the broad claim "<i>For<br />a Revolving Tower for offensive and defensive<br />warfare whether used on land or water.</i>" Several<br />subsidiary patents cover also the various special<br />appliances which give increased value to the<br />general principle.<br />Meanwhile the <i>Monitor</i>had been built, and<br />contracts were made with an association of lead-<br />ing capitalists and constructors for building other<br />vessels of the same general construction. Mr.<br />Timby's claim to the invention of the turret was<br />brought before them. They acted like men of<br />sense and honor. They acknowledged the valid-<br />ity and worth of his claim, and at once entered<br />upon negotiations with him. The result was<br />that there was secured to him what he considered<br />a fair and just remuneration for the labor of the<br />twenty long years which he had devoted to the<br />perfection of his invention. He receives his due<br />share for the construction of every vessel of our<br />mighty turret fleet, and for every one of the re-<br />volving armed towers which will, we hope, soon<br />protect our great harbors from Portland to San<br />Francisco. The world is full of cases where<br />men whose inventions hav conferred lasting<br />benefits upon mankind have toiled in want and<br />poverty, while princely fortunes hav ebeen accu-<br />mulated from them by others; or, if at last they<br />have received any adequate reward, it came too<br />late for them to enjoy it. The inventor of the<br />Revolving Tower forms an exception to this.<br />In the very prime of manhood he has secured a<br />compensation not enormous indeed, when com-<br />pared with the sums which we are told have<br />been amassed in a few months by "army con-<br />tractors" and "purchasing agents," but amply<br />satisfactory to him. It is pleasant to be able to<br />put upon record his own words: "All my rela-<br />tions with the contractors for building the <i>Moni-<br />tors</i>, represented by Hon. John A. Griswold,<br />have been entirely satisfactory. They have acted<br />throughout, and in every respect, with the most<br />entire good faith and honor."<br />Having thus given the origin and history of<br />the invention, we propose to describe the "Re-<br />volving Tower," both for land and water, as<br />arranged by Mr. Timby. We shall commence<br />with that designed for land—this being on the<br />whole more simple, though the leading princi-<br />ples are common to both.<br />The illustration on page 246 presents an ex-<br />ternal view of such a structure. It consists, to<br />the eye, of an iron-plated tower, with a dome-<br />shaped roof, resting upon a foundation of mason-<br />ry, and pierced for two tiers of guns.

This tower is supposed<br />to be 100 feet in diameter, and to carry sixty<br />guns, thirty in each tier. In the centre, under<br />the dome, rises a turret,* which, as will be<br />shown, forms one of the most essential parts of<br />the structure.<br />The illustration on the following page pre-<br />sents a sectional view of the whole structure,<br />cut down through the centre of tower, turret,<br />and foundation, the nearer half being supposed<br />to be revolved so as to show the interior con-<br />struction and the arrangement of every part.<br />K is the dome; and A A represent the circu-<br />lar walls of the tower. It will be observed that<br />there are two of these circles, one within the<br />other. The small inner one is not, as might<br />be supposed at first view, a part of the turret,<br />which does not reach below the roof of the<br />tower. These walls, in a land fortress, may be<br />of any required thickness. If one foot is not<br />sufficient they may be two, or three, or five, if<br />required. The increase of weight, which is so<br />important in a floating batter, is here of no<br />practical consequence. This tower revolves<br />upon friction rollers (G G), by means of a steam-<br />engine below and beyond the foundations of the<br />fort. It is proposed that it shall be made to<br />revolve once in a minute, thus bringing every<br />one of the guns to bear upon any point in<br />that space of time. At first thought it would<br />seem impossible to make such a ponderous<br />mass revolve with what appears so great ve-<br />locity. This objection was, in fact, urged by<br />the writer in the <i>Evening Post</i>, already quoted,<br />against the first model exhibited in 1843. This<br />without carefully examining the premises. A<br />tower 100 feet in diameter has a circumference<br />of about 314 feet. At the rate of revolution<br />proposed it would move 314 feet in a minute, or<br />18,840 feet, or a little more than three and a<br />half miles, an hour: just about a man's moder-<br />ate walking gait. There would not be the<br />slightest difficulty in giving the tower twice this<br />rate of motion if it were desirable. The force<br />required to effect the revolution is much less<br />than might be imagined. Upon an ordinary<br />railroad "turn-table" one man easily turns a<br />weight of 200 tons. It has been calculated that<br />an engine of 50-horse power would be sufficient<br />to revolve the 100-foot turret with all its arma-<br />ment. This minimum will not, of course, be<br />adopted. It is proposed to use an engine of<br />250-horse power for this and other purposes. This<br />is much smaller than the marine engines used on<br />steamers, which vary from 300 to 1200 horse pow-<br />er. C C represent the gun-platforms, with the<br />gun-carriages and guns, each looking grimly out<br />from its own port-hole. These gun-carriages all<br />radiate from a common centre to the circumfer-<br />ence, like the spokes of a wheel. Indeed, if the<br />tower were cut off level with the gun-patform a<br />&nbsp;<br /><hr />&nbsp;<br />* The word "tower" will always be used to denote the<br />exterior part, while "turret" will designate the central<br />elevation.</td> <td>carriage-wheel would represent the section: the<br />tire would stand for the outer wall, the spokes<br />for the gun-carriages, the hub for the inner wall,<br />and the hole for the axle, an opening left for a<br />very important purpose, connected with the cen-<br />tral turret.<br />This turret (B) is the head holding the brain<br />of the whole structure. It rests upon and re-<br />volves by means of the shaft <i>b b</i>, extending<br />through the whole length of the tower. The<br />turret revolves independently of the tower, and<br />not by means of the steam-engine. In it the<br />commander is stationed during action. There<br />is a narrow opening through which, with a<br />theodolite or telescope fixed upon a stand, he<br />keeps watch upon the object of attack. At his<br />hand is a wheel connected with the central shaft<br />by proper rods and gearing, so delicately adjusted<br />that the strength of an infant can turn it with<br />the turret which rests upon it. Close by are a<br />series of handles connected with signals to all<br />the officers below. By turning this surret he<br />keeps the telescope pointed always straight at<br />the object aimed at. If it moves he follows it<br />precisely as a sharp-shooter with his telescopic<br />rifle follows the course of a moving object until<br />he is ready to fire. Now as the tower revolves<br />around the turret each gun in its turn is for an<br />instant brought at every recolution directly in<br />a vertical line with the telescipe, and if the gun<br />were discharged at that precise intant the ball<br />would go straight to its mark. Provision is<br />made for doing this with unerring certainty.<br />Under the floor of the turret is a galvanic bat-<br />tery with a main conductor so arranged that at<br />the very instant when the gun comes in a line<br />with the telescope the connection is formed.<br />Conducting-wires pass from this main conductor<br />to each gun of the whole battery. When the<br />connection is formed the electric spark passes<br />with the speed of thought along the wires, ig-<br />nites the priming fuse, and each gun in its turn<br />is discharged at the instant it falls under the ver-<br />tical line of the telescope, and without the possi-<br />bility of mistake. The illustration shows clear-<br />ly the whole of these inner arrangements: the<br />telescope, wheel, and signals in the dome, the<br />main conductor, or "circuit-closer" on the left,<br />and the revolving gearinbg on the right of the<br />shaft, and the conducting wires passing to each<br />gun. By means of a micrometer attached to<br />the telescope the distance of the object is ascer-<br />tained at once; a signal to the officer of each<br />gun directs him to evevate or depress the piece<br />so as to secure the proper range.<br />The gunners, it will be seen, have nothing to<br />do but to load their pieces, run them to the port-<br />holes, and place the fuse in the vent. They<br />work in absolute safety in their iron-clad tower;<br />the commander, alike safe in his mailed turret,<br />does all the aiming and sighting, not of a single<br />gun merely, but of all the sixty that compose<br />the battery at the same instant.

If a<br />cannon-ball traveled with the same accuracy as<br />a rifle bullet, a single man might be picked off<br />with a 400-pound shot aimed at a mile's distance<br />from this turret as certainly as he could be by<br />a sharp-shooter with his telescopic rifle. This<br />perfect accuracy of flight is perhaps not attaina-<br />ble; but assuming the extreme accurate range<br />of a cannon-ball to be two miles, there is no<br />reason to question that a ship could be hit at<br />that distance by every shot. The importance<br />of this perfect accuracy of aim is shown by the<br />fact that not one shot in a hundred fired in the<br />usual manner at long range from a stationary<br />battery at a vessel in motion ever hits it. Last<br />year one bank of the Potomac for miles was fair-<br />ly lined with rebel batteries; yet the blockade<br />was run with impunity by steamers of every<br />class; and one could easily count upon his fin-<br />gers every recorded instance in which a vessel<br />was hit.<br />The recent experiments on the <i>Passaic</i> de-<br />monstrate that there is no limit to the size of<br />the guns which may be fired within a tower.<br />The 15-inch guns, carrying a round shot of 425<br />pounds, were discharged without the slightest<br />damage to the tower or injury to the men with-<br />in it. The effect of a fire of heavy shot against<br />a solid object, like a fortification or an iron-clad<br />vessel, depends greatly upon its rapidity. Ten<br />shots striking any point in as many seconds will<br />produce a greater effect than a hundred in ten<br />hours. Now a tower of 60 guns revolving once<br />a minute will deliver its whole fire upon any<br />point every minute ⸺ that is, it will give a<br />shot every second; and as it is found by ex-<br />periment that one minute is ample time for load-<br />ing a gun, and as not an instant is lost in aim-<br />ing or firing, this rate may be kept up for any<br />length of time. But the commander is not<br />obliged to use his whole force. Sitting in his<br />turret, and watching the fight, he can by a sig-<br />nal direct the tower to revolve more slowly or to<br />stop altogether; or by another signal he may or-<br />der the gunners not to put the fuse into the vents<br />of any gun or number of guns. In this case no<br />discharge takes place when the gun comes round<br />under the telescope. Thus the whole battery<br />of 60 guns is absolutely under the control of a<br />single man seated quietly in his turret above the<br />tumult of battle.<br />We have called this turret the brain of the<br />structure; carrying out the figure, the shaft,<br />with its moving apparatus and circuit-closer, is<br />the spinal cord; the conducting-wires running<br />to the guns are the nerves; the tower is the<br />trunk; the gun-carriages and guns are the arms<br />and hands ready to fling their ponderous mis-<br />siles, and the steam-engine below is the legs,<br />bearing the huge iron warrior to the point of<br />assault.<br />In the illustration E E are ventilators, for<br />carrying off the smoke and foul air from the for-<br />tress. A strong current of air from beneath is<br />forced up by the steam-engine, keeping the at-</td> <td>mosphere within pure and wholesome. This is<br />a most essential provision. In an ordinary for-<br />tress, after a breif firing, the air in the case-<br />mates becomes so foul, smoky, and heated as to<br />be almost incapable of respiration. Thus at<br />Sumter our brave men, while absolutely un-<br />harmed by the balls from the enemy, almost<br />perished from heat and suffocation in the nar-<br />row casemates. The magazine, stores, and re-<br />volving apparatus are contained in subterranean<br />chambers arranged for their reception in the<br />massive work which forms the foundation of the<br />revolving tower. This may be either of masonry<br />or of iron, though all recent experiments go to<br />show that the latter is preferable. In the plan<br />it is provided with a tier of casemated guns.<br />As far as land fortification is concerned, the<br />main application of the Revolving Tower is for<br />the defense of harbors and sea-ports. These<br />are the vital points of attack. A single vessel<br />of war, once within range of a great city, holds<br />it at mercy. No matter—or rather so much the<br />worse—how strongly it is garrisoned, it is abso-<br />lutely helpless. It has no more means of reach-<br />ing its enemy than an elephant has of attacking<br />a shark. The first gun-boat which, passing forts<br />St. Philip and Jackson, lay off the levée at New<br />Orleans, virtually captured the Crescent City.<br />If a solitary vessel of the allied fleet could have<br />passed the forts at Cronstadt, the Russian capital<br />must have surrendered or been destroyed. A<br />single hostile war-steamer which should run the<br />gauntlet of the Narrows and islands, and enter<br />the harbor of New York could impose its own<br />terms on the metropolis. The capture of New<br />Orleans shows how little power our fortresses<br />have to obstruct the passage of even ordinary<br />steamers. The range of stationary guns is so<br />small, and their aim is so uncertain, that it is a<br />matter of chance if a passing vessel is hit at all.<br />At most the danger lasts but a few minutes.<br />But when the attack is made by iron-clad<br />steamers, the peril to a city is fearfully increased.<br />We think we are fully justified in the opinion<br />that the <i>Passaic</i> or the <i>Ironsides</i>, the <i>Warrior</i><br />or <i>La Gloire</i> could enter the harbor of New York<br />unharmed in spite of all the fortifications which<br />defend it. Some new mode of defense, answer-<br />ing to the increased powers of offense created<br />within a few years is clearly demanded. This<br />we believe is to be found in the Revolving Tur-<br />ret. The method of its application to the har-<br />bor of New York, as arranged by Mr. Timby, is<br />fully shown in the following illustration. With<br />necessary modifications it is available for every<br />one of our great ports, from Portland to San<br />Francisco.<br />The "Narrows" is supposed to be the point<br />of defense. This passage is about one-third of<br />a mile wide. From each shore a dock would<br />be built, upon which will be erected a tower<br />and fortress such as has been described; and<br />another upon an artificial foundation in the<br />middle.

Across the throat of the harbor, from<br />fort to fort, will be placed a series of massive<br />iron chains, attached to windlasses moved by<br />the steam-engines in the forts. These chains<br />during peace lie quietly upon the botton, offer-<br />ing no obstruction to the passage. But when<br />the approach of an enemy renders it desirable to<br />close the harbor they are drawn up by the<br />windlass to such a deflection as to prevent the<br />passage of a vessel. They are not drawn "taut,"<br />for in that case a great part of their strength<br />would be exhausted in maintaining the tension;<br />but they hang swaying in the water. The most<br />powerful steamer striking them would only<br />swing them back , while its momentum would be<br />checked and destroyed. The assailant would<br />then lie helpless at point-blank range under the</td> <td>concentric fire of two forts, each capable of deliv-<br />ering a shot every second; and between these he<br />must pass in order to reach his object. There<br />is no limit to the size of the guns which may be<br />used. Those of 20-inch calibre, already under<br />contract, could be employed here if desired.<br />The question between guns and armor, as<br />heretofore applied to vesels, may be considered<br />an open one; though we have yet to learn that<br />any shot has been found, even when fired under<br />the most favorable circumstances, to be effective<br />against a shield equivalent to the armor or tow-<br />ers of the <i>Passaic</i> or <i>Montauk</i>. But granting<br />that this might be pierced or shattered, there is<br />no limit to the thickness which may be given to<br />the walls of a revolving land tower, short of its<br />absolute crushing weight upon the iron or steel<br />rollers upon wqhich it revolves; whereas, sooner<br />or later, there must be a limit beyond which the<br />weight and velocity of shot can not go. That<br />such a tower as has been described would be<br />impregnable to direct assault or escalade needs<br />no demonstration. If cannon-balls could not<br />force their way into it, human beings certainly<br />would not be able to do so. It could only be<br />reduced by famine. If any one will study the<br />charts of our great harbors, he will see that ev-<br />ery one of them has a narrow entrance which<br />could be effectually guarded by such a cordon of<br />forts.<br />The cost of such structures would certainly<br />be great; but without pretending to have gone<br />into any detailed calculation, we are confident<br />that a mere inspection of the general plan is<br />quite sufficient to show that it must be far less<br />than that of fortifications upon the ususal plan,<br />while their efficiency would be immeasurable<br />greater.

The only modifications are those<br />imposed by the fact that there is a limit to the<br />sizew and weight of a tower to be borne by a<br />vessel. The problem is to dispose of this prac-<br />ticable size and weight to the best advantage.<br />We give a sectional view of the design for such<br />a tower for a vessel. Essentially it corresponds<br />with that which has been given of the land<br />tower. The general structure, mode of sight-<br />ing, and discharge, and the internal arrange-<br />ments are the same. This tower is supposed to<br />be forty feet in diameter, and to be armed with<br />a single tier of six guns instead of the two with<br />which all of our <i>Monitors</i> are furnished. Sup-<br />posing, as heretofore, that the tower revolves<br />once in a minute, the fire of a vessel provided<br />with such a tower would be six shots in a min-<br />ute, delivered infallibly upon any desired point.<br />This is demonstrably a greater effective fire than<br />can be given by any vessel heretofore built.<br />The absurdity of placing two or more revolving<br />towers upon any vessel scarcely needs to be<br />pointed out. The essential idea of the revolv-<br />ing tower is that every gun commands every<br />point of the circle. If there are two or more<br />towers each cuts off a part of the range of the<br />other. In our present turrets, with two guns<br />side by side, fully four-fifths are useless for pur-<br />poses of offense, since not a shot is given from<br />four parts out of five of the circumference. It<br />may be demonstrated that the effective fire of a<br />single tower of four guns is double that of two<br />towers of two guns each, while the cost, weight,<br />and motive power would be much less. The<br />true principle is that indicated in the plan of<br />Mr. Timby. Give the tower sufficient diameter<br />to afford space for a continuous tier of guns clear<br />around its circumference, every part of which<br />will thus be made equally effective. Whether<br />there shall be four, ten, or twenty guns must be<br />decided upon special grounds for each vessel.</td> <td>To one point in this diagram of a floating<br />tower special attention must be called. It rises<br />only two-thirds of its height above the deck.<br />In our <i>Monitors</i> the whole tower of nine or ten<br />feet in height stands above deck. This height<br />is necessary to give space for the working of the<br />guns; but every foot in height and every ton of<br />weight placed above the line of flotation increases<br />the vulnerability and diminishes the sea-worthi-<br />ness of the vessel. The height of the tower<br />above deck needs only to be sufficient to allow<br />the port-holes to be high enough to give the re-<br />quired vertical range. The gun-carriages may<br />as well be below the level of deck as above it.<br />Thus of the nine feet required for the height of<br />the tower three may be below deck. The chances<br />of the tower being hit are diminished just one-<br />third; and, moreover, its absolute weight may<br />be a full quarter less without at all lessen-<br />ing its security; for that part of it below deck<br />will be shielded by the side armor of the vessel,<br />and consequently may be made comparatively<br />light.<br />This sectional view also suggests a novel mode<br />of constructing the side armor of a vessel, which<br />will be readily understood by any mechanic. In<br />the <i>Monitors</i> the sides of the armed upper hull<br />are perpendicular. In this plan they present<br />an ovoid surface. It lies beyond the scope of<br />this paper to enter upon a discussion of this<br />point. Our object has been to show that the<br />Revolving Gun-Twoer, conjoined, as it always<br />has been in the mind of its inventor, with the<br />apparatus for aiming and firing, multiplies al-<br />most indefinitely the effective power of artillery<br />for defensive and offensive purposes; that it will<br />do for cannon precisely what the invention of<br />printing has done for the art of writing. If we<br />have succeeded in showing this, we need add no<br />words to commend the matter to the immediate<br />consideration of the American People and Gov-<br />ernment.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> &nbsp;<br /><hr />&nbsp;<br />THE SMALL HOUSE AT ALLINGTON.<br />&nbsp;<br /> <table> <tbody> <tr> <th>Column 1</th> <th>Column 2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>CHAPTER IX.<br />&nbsp;<br />MRS.

United States--Navy--History--Civil War, 1861-1865 Dacotah (Sloop) Minnesota (Steam frigate) Description An account of the resource <p>This collection contains the journal of Philip G. Peltz during his time as Chief Engineer aboard the U.S.S. <i>Dacotah</i> and the beginning of his time as Chief Engineer aboard the U.S.S. <i>Minnesota</i> during the American Civil War. It also includes a typed, bound transcription of the journal.</p> <p>Peltz wrote about his experiences aboard ship in 1862 and 1863, including the destruction of the U.S.S. <i>Merrimack</i>, his experience with yellow fever, and encounters with people escaping enslavement who sought out the Union Army.</p> <p>He mentions his brother Samuel twice in the journal. First, noting Samuel's commission in the Union Navy as an Assistant Surgeon on 22 August 1862; and second, when his brother reported for duty aboard the U.S.S. <i>Chocura</i> on 14 February 1863. Samuel was later transferred in 1864 to the U.S.S. <i>Patapsco</i> and drowned when that ship hit a mine in Charleston Harbor (South Carolina) on 15 January 1865.</p> <p>Of the destruction of the first U.S.S. <i>Merrimack</i>, Peltz wrote, "Soon the flames spread over her entire length enshrouding her in one sheet of fire, The fire and smoke came pouring out of the smoke pipe greater than from a Cupola . . . At 4.34 A.m. the entire mass of flame, a great portion of her Iron Sheathing, +c, were seen to ascend high into the heavens, Presenting one of the most Magnificent pyrotechnical views I ever beheld,"</p> <p>Regarding encounters with formerly enslaved people, Peltz wrote, "We have taken on board several Contrabands who came down to the beach and begged to be taken on board, Sometimes they would be possessed with passes from their [enslavers] . . . When these fellows were closely interrogated as to what their motives were in running off they only seemed to think that their condition could not be any <u>wosser</u> (worse) so they would try it anyhow, some lift their wives and families behind in their eagerness to leave their state of bondage."</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peltz, Philip G., 1832-1868 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaxtf/view?docId=oai/VT/repositories_2_resources_4034.xml">See the finding aid for the Philip G.

You absolutely won?t say anything and I can?t<br /> manipulate you so you will. I got a white sweater<br /> and it surely is a beauty but high $13.75. You nearly<br /> got me to-night when you asked about my ring that<br /> Bush has but I got off. Did you really want that<br /> picture and do you love me or just like me or what.<br /> You?re so peculiar. William Matthews is getting to<br /> be a regular mess since he came from the Army. So<br /> perfectly foolish and [squshy?]. Good-night and please<br /> ask me to go to one of the games.

First even<br /> before I got up Miss Alsop called me up to come<br /> down to the Extension Division and work. Then at<br /> dinner I talked so long over the telephone to you<br /> and Charlie. He says like Fred that you have a<br /> girl in Richmond and that Bush likes me and<br /> I?d better stick to him. He also mentioned the<br /> ring. After work I came to the drug-store<br /> and got something to drink with Mrs. F. and<br /> then I saw you and Fred. After supper I had<br /> Bush to come and get his picture. Besides I got<br /> a most gorgeous box of candy from Charlie Miller<br /> unlike any I?ve ever had. After he left we got ready<br /> to go to the game and I met you down street<br /> Had you really meant to run away as you<br /> said I would say? You wouldn?t go to the game. <br /> After that Frank G. brought us home and out<br /> the road a piece in the car. I don?t like<br /> the new stenographer much. Thank God for<br /> work. It keeps me from thinking and it gives<br /> me something to do. Good-night boy.</td><td>Friday 17 1918 [1919]<br /> Its funny that you and Fred should both like the<br /> same picture isn?t it. He insisted that I give him one<br /> this afternoon but I didn?t. I met him after I left you<br /> and he came home with me and got some<br /> candy. I didn?t know you waited at the Mess Hall.<br /> I?m glad you really had a good excuse. Stamp said<br /> thought they were going to have a hop to-morrow<br /> afternoon so I called up Charlie Hutchings to see<br /> if you all would rather go there than here. We de-<br /> cided to do a little of both. I like Fred so much.<br /> He surely is funny the way he talks about his<br /> girl. He is going to have her up at Mid-<br /> winters. I don?t suppose I?ll have a date so<br /> its a very good thing I won?t be here. I<br /> told him he just must come and he said<br /> he would. That is to-morrow. Being a rat<br /> is hard lives isn?t it. Its a blessing I didn?t<br /> know you when you were a rat or I?d never<br /> have even gotten a glimpse of you. My oh<br /> but I wish I could understand you at all<br /> but I just naturally can?t. Funny people in<br /> this funny world.

First I worked<br /> until 12:30. Then came home, dressed, ate dinner<br /> and saw about a Victrola and some records. Alice<br /> wouldn?t come. It was funny how things turned out.<br /> When I found out that there was to be a hop I asked<br /> Charlie which they would rather do and he said a<br /> little of both but when they found the Roanoke<br /> girls didn?t come they sent three boys to try and get<br /> my crowd down since there weren?t any girls there<br /> but Alice + Liz. But our boys didn?t want too<br /> so we stayed and I did enjoy it. I felt so badly<br /> though when both Bush + Charlie asked Va [F.?] to<br /> go to the game and no one asked me just after<br /> I?d had you all up here. Anyway mother and I<br /> went and it was the best game I think I?ve ever<br /> seen. Between Roanoke C + V. P. I. 22-18, but until<br /> a little before the game was over they were a-<br /> head. You, Charlie, Bush, Fred, Ralph, William, Harry,<br /> Bobbie, Billie, Jimmie, Emily, Dick, Stamp, Helen +<br /> I were there beside William Matthews.

I was so glad you and Fred + Dwight<br /> came along. At first I didn?t recognize your<br /> brother and had to ask mother who he<br /> was. I hope the pictures Fred took turn<br /> out alright. You seem to like Miss Rowan<br /> a lot. I like her lots better than I did at<br /> first. Theres a new stenographer in to-night.<br /> So you don?t like the way Va. F. dances any-<br /> more. It surprised me a little to hear you<br /> say it cause you generally say absolutely<br /> nothing about any girl unless I ask you.<br /> You can be so nice and talk when<br /> you want to but you just don?t for some<br /> reason I can?t explain.

Oh, I do wish I knew what to do but per-<br /> haps I couldn?t get work at the Extension for<br /> any length of time. I gave your good-luck piece<br /> to Charlie and hope he gave it to you. I just<br /> couldn?t keep it until you came after it ?cause<br /> I was afraid you would miss it and be want-<br /> ing it. Douglas Fairbanks surely was good.

I believe you are all my friends but you<br /> surely act curiously. Bush had Virginia at the game<br /> to-night. He has my ring, my picture and a sweater I<br /> made him.

Well<br /> I?m going back to Childress where I can?t see any of<br /> you and maybe it won?t worry me. Perhaps I?m<br /> selfish but it does seem funny. Working at the Ex-<br /> tension is rather hard and it always gives<br /> me a headache. To-day when I had some things<br /> all fixed Miss Agnew had gotten them wrong<br /> and I had to do them all over. I was all fidgety<br /> by the time I started for home. My what a<br /> game to-night. At first I thought we?d have<br /> a very good one but it sure ended in a<br /> walk-over 55-14 in our favor.

I really think<br /> he likes me a lot but we managed to dance around<br /> the brier bush without getting stuck. He said<br /> he didn?t understand me like he did most girls.<br /> Also that once I said something that made him<br /> believe a certain thing but he didn?t think so any<br /> more. Rather vague. I sent him off about four<br /> o?clock, as I wanted to go to the movies. He came up<br /> to tell me good-bye to-night. The movies were just<br /> fine. Virginia Faulkner thinks this ring is Bushs<br /> and I?m not going to undeceive her. Went to the<br /> party with Mr. McCann. Bobbie C. also thought it<br /> was B?s and even bet me. We got the prize too<br /> Froggie makes me sick. Bush is going to take<br /> Va. to the game again to-morrow and I don?t<br /> understand it at all boy.

I like them all. Johnson is so<br /> much nicer than I thought he?d be and I<br /> like to hear him talk. Oglesby insisted on one<br /> of my pictures but nothing doing. I would like<br /> to see the James + Scoggins twins. They most<br /> talked themselves to death on the subject. They<br /> asked me if I were dancing and I said no.<br /> Hard luck.

Called up<br /> Mr. Lucas and he said do what I thought<br /> best and as Lyda can?t start very well un-<br /> til Monday we just will wait until then. It<br /> makes me tired not having a date for the<br /> dances and it isn?t right either but gee, I can?t<br /> do anything and I surely won?t ask the boys to<br /> take me like Stamp does. Went to grand mams<br /> with Helen and we met Major Scuse. Hes<br /> very nice and quite good-looking. Its a pity<br /> Ellen Campbell is so crazy about him. Mrs.<br /> Faulkner said I looked so sweet last night<br /> you ought to love me to death. No danger<br /> of such a pleasant ending. I surely feel<br /> curious. Dizzy and my head hurts.

Mon. 1919.<br /> Hamp came up to school a little after eleven<br /> this morning and I let the kids out until one.<br /> Its just like the beginning of school nearly<br /> we?ve been away so long. We persuaded Howard<br /> to take us to Christiansburg with him + Hamp.<br /> I sat on Hamps lap and Lida on the little back<br /> seat. I?m not sure whether I should have done<br /> it or not. Well he kissed me good-bye. I told<br /> him not to but he did. I felt rather don?t [?]<br /> any way and it was when I couldn?t make a<br /> fuss. But I didn?t kiss him and it was over<br /> in a hurry. I believe I met nearly every one in<br /> creation going over. It was awfully cold coming<br /> back in the wind. I know I?ll miss him<br /> just lots for hes just about the only boy<br /> over here that I know. It feels real<br /> nice to get back over here after we?ve<br /> been away so long. I expect we?ll have<br /> a time getting things settled.

I was glad<br /> to get back here and have something to do. But<br /> now that I?ve seen you for so long its harder<br /> than it was before not to see you and the<br /> worst part is you don?t care and I some-<br /> times think you never will. Pat wrote to<br /> say he?d be down Saturday + Sunday and<br /> wanted a date both nights but of course I can?t<br /> tell whether I can go home or not. Frank is<br /> such a funny child. I asked him why people<br /> went to Switzerland and he said to see<br /> the ?Evening Sun.? I miss Hamp right much.<br /> I do wish Mrs. Rosa Lucas would keep her<br /> fingers out of my school. She?s always making<br /> trouble and telling me about things. Actually<br /> wanted me to start Nannie in the first<br /> part of the Sixth Grade in the middle of<br /> the year. Had a spelling match to-day<br /> and the kids enjoyed it a lot. Lois be-<br /> haved quite nicely even after yesterday. It<br /> was raining this morning but I?m glad<br /> it has cleared up a little. I want you so. Good-night.</td><td>Feb. 5, 1918 [1919]<br /> Boy I heard from Pat again to-day and he<br /> may come here. I?m not sure whether I want<br /> him to come or not. You see I don?t know what<br /> he might say since he wrote that letter<br /> and I can?t love him. The kids say such funny<br /> things. One said that spheres + planets were the axles<br /> which the earth turns on and one said the<br /> reason he didn?t come to school yesterday was<br /> because he ran into a pole-cat. They are<br /> frank to say the least. I?m reading ?At the<br /> Sign of the Fox.? Its such a sweet book and I<br /> enjoyed it so much. It just looks like<br /> most of my kids can?t learn History. I tell<br /> you this eating supper at four o?clock<br /> doesn?t exactly suit me. We made candy this<br /> afternoon and surely had a time. It wouldn?t<br /> cream or do anything like we wanted. I?d<br /> never seen any of it made so I didn?t know<br /> anything about it. Its rather pully but<br /> so good.

When your hand touched<br /> my shoulder while we were dancing in the parlor<br /> I just went crazy nearly. Boy I almost think I<br /> love you too much if just your touch gives me<br /> thrills all over. And you insisted I?d rather dance<br /> German. Plank and the Turners surely dance dis-<br /> gracefully. It was nice of Frank [G?] to bring me over<br /> in his car. The train was so late. Fred?s girl is<br /> so nice but not a bit what I expected. Alonzo<br /> Jones is just as foolish as ever I think. I bet he<br /> and Bertha will make some match.

Good-night.</td><td>Sun.<br /> Dearest boy in all the world I love you so. I do feel<br /> so good to-night. It must be because I?m most<br /> well again. I had just about decided that Lyda wasn?t<br /> coming back and Mrs. Howard said that she<br /> would see about my having the whole school<br /> but she came in a little while ago. I read and<br /> wrote a letter to Pat this morning. Got up for<br /> dinner and then went down to Miss Zannies.<br /> Oh, I do love you so. Then I just had to do some<br /> thing to this room it was such a mess. Got<br /> a letter composed to Hamp. I wish I could<br /> keep my mouth shut but it doesn?t look<br /> like I can. I?m just a perfect mess. Now that<br /> Lyda is back I find I?ve missed her. I like<br /> Miss Zannie. You ought to hear her lay Mr.<br /> + Mrs. Roy Palmer out. No one seems to like<br /> them very much. I wish to goodness some<br /> one would send me a check I?ve got twelve<br /> cents and owe nine of that. Burleigh Lucas<br /> is to slow to catch the Huckleberry. I hope<br /> you?ll write me real soon. With love n? everything<br /> Good-night dear.</td></tr></table> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I<br /> rather hope Lyda won?t leave for I sure<br /> would miss her. Frank does say the very<br /> funniest things. To day in history he said that<br /> Patrick Henry said ?C?z?r and his Brutes?.<br /> He says parriot for parrot. Lyda and I<br /> have a few little tiffs but on the whole we<br /> do very well. The water and my coming in<br /> her room or correcting the youngsters seems<br /> to be the most trouble. Had another letter from<br /> Hamp and also one from [Wilber?]. Funny I don?t<br /> hear from Bush. Hamp sure has the<br /> writing fever. I hear from him about three<br /> times a week. Mother sent me some money<br /> which I sadly needed. Miss Zannie will kill<br /> me yet. She says Mrs. Roy lead Mr. Roy around<br /> like a puppy and they hug and kiss each<br /> other in the back of the store. Good-night dearie.</td><td>Tues. Feb. 25, 1919<br /> I really believe Bush is jealous of you. What a<br /> letter I got from him to-day. About how I got sore<br /> at my birthday party because you fooled with some<br /> other girls and took it out on him. That the other<br /> girls thought I was a fool to act the way I do and<br /> I must have it bad but he understood. Also how<br /> badly he had the blues. I?m not at all sure what<br /> kind of reply he will make to my letter. I tried<br /> to smooth things over but I?m not much good<br /> when it comes to deceiving folks. We had half<br /> holiday and I read and sewed all afternoon.<br /> After supper we made some candy and it<br /> surely is fine. I would like to know how all<br /> this is to turn out and whether you?ll ever<br /> love me or I?ll ever love Bush. We may all<br /> drift apart and perhaps I?ll fall in love with<br /> some one else. At least I don?t want to be<br /> an old maid. Such rainy weather I never<br /> saw and such mud. Had to get a new pair<br /> of overshoes to-day. To think they didn?t have<br /> the funeral after all our holiday. Oh but I?m<br /> sleepy.

One of my girls informed<br /> me that the reason the pilgrims came over<br /> here was to plant corn. Bright are they not.<br /> I made candy for Mrs. Howard to-night and<br /> I?m rather tired. Also I want to see you so<br /> much but what would be the use? Heard<br /> from Mamma. I?m glad she is having<br /> such a nice time. I hope she will enjoy<br /> her trip more than I did mine. I just<br /> do not know what I am going to do with<br /> Frank. He just seems to be getting worse<br /> all the time. Whipping wouldn?t do him<br /> any good and I don?t believe much in it.<br /> Besides I haven?t got the strength to do it.<br /> I wish I could write things. Some day<br /> I?ll try perhaps. I?ve so many letters to<br /> write and I don?t know when I?ll ever<br /> finish them all. Good-night.</td><td>Thurs. Feb 27, 1919.<br /> Boy dear, I want you so but whats the use. Im<br /> even getting almost afraid to go home. I just<br /> postively must not let you see that I care<br /> at all. I hurried through the lessons to-day<br /> and went to Mrs. Howards to a Larkin Club<br /> party. I surely did have a nice time. Everyone<br /> seemed to have their babies with them and<br /> they were yelling or messing around. One<br /> woman had on a black and white check silk<br /> dress and wore big amber glasses. She talked<br /> like you were deaf and way up in the air<br /> The shrill kind you know. One tried to be a<br /> little bossy and when Mrs H. gave out the club<br /> pins said she had noticed that they cost 25? in<br /> the book. One kid was outrageously dressed.<br /> Certainly did have good things to eat. Then<br /> I got the prize. It was in a spelling con-<br /> test and I just missed two words. To think<br /> I didn?t get a single letter. Not even an ad-<br /> vertisement to-day. I wonder if Lyda is<br /> coming back after Friday.

Been making out reports and<br /> its so hard to know how to grade them. I?ve got<br /> a perfectly scandalous fever blister sitting up<br /> on my mouth. Lucille came home to-<br /> night. I?m glad for I rather like her. Little<br /> Frank make me so mad to-day. I don?t gen<br /> erally get that way when hes fooling around but<br /> I was just feeling a little messy anyway. Got<br /> a letter from Pat to-day. I rather think<br /> Hamp has deserted me. I haven?t heard from<br /> him since Monday. I wish I had some good<br /> candy. Martha Washington or home made either.<br /> I?m glad I?m by myself to-night. Good-<br /> night dear.</td><td>Sat. Mar 1, 1919<br /> Lucille and I have had some time to-<br /> day.

I hadn?t intended getting up for<br /> breakfast but we had stewed oysters so<br /> I just had to. My but its been lovely out<br /> to-day. If all of March is like this I?ll be<br /> very glad. Had a letter from Hamp and the<br /> reason he hasn?t written is that he has<br /> been away. He is coming the fifteenth if<br /> I?m here. Also heard from Robert. He<br /> is going across again in a few days.<br /> Said he heard that Argyle had been<br /> in Paris. Lyda phoned she was coming<br /> back. I just expected she would. I meant<br /> to write some letters to-night but got so<br /> interested in ?Going Some? that I just<br /> had to finish it.

This morn-<br /> ing we met a man on our way to school<br /> in a wagon and he took us up the<br /> hill.

Murdoch, 1861-1863 (Ms2009-132) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource A journal maintained by Frances A. 'Fannie' Murdoch, a young woman living on a Mississippi plantation during the Civil War. Containing approximately 90 pages, the journal commences with an entry dated May 29, 1861. The journal is largely introspective in nature, as Murdoch dwells on personal feelings, focusing heavily on her religious beliefs. She often questions her worthiness and chastises herself for sins, frequently mentioning her quick temper. At the same time, Murdoch takes pride in the evening Bible studies she conducts with the plantation's slaves. Murdoch also describes the weather and often refers to siblings Willie, Jonnie and Sallie, as well as various relatives, servants and neighbors. As the Civil War commences, Murdoch very briefly mentions reports from Harpers Ferry and Philippi, Virginia. After the Battle of Manassas, her entries focus more on war rumors and news. She mentions a personal telegram received by acquaintances from President Davis, relaying news of the Confederate victory at Manassas, and Davis' proclamation for a day of prayer and fasting. On April 18, 1862, Murdoch expresses thanks for what she considers a Confederate victory at Shiloh, while at the same time disagreeing with those who believe the war's end may soon be drawing near. '...I think we have just begun this long dreary war,' she writes. 'Still we must fight on, our lives, our homes, our lands, our slaves, depend on the end of this matter.' As the war progresses, she becomes ever less hopeful of victory and mentions a prophecy that the war will last four years and result in the reunification of the states. She relays secondhand but somewhat lengthy descriptions of a battle between the Natchez militia and a Union gunboat, the death of Colonel Stuart Wilkins Fisk at the Battle of Murfreesboro, and the plundering of Bruinsburg by Union soldiers. Elsewhere, she reports the surrenders of New Orleans and Vicksburg. On a few occasions, Murdoch expresses her fear of a slave insurrection but feels confident that slaves Ben or Henry would save her and brother Jonnie, 'as they say they like us so much.' Elsewhere, Murdoch deplores the torture used on Natchez slaves to elicit information about rumored plans for an uprising. On May 3, 1863, she notes that many of the family's slaves have departed, averring that they had forgotten how well they were treated by the family and comparing them to a fly being lured by a spider--the lure in this case being the promise of eleven dollars a month. Also on this date, Murdoch notes that the carriage horses are all gone, and she feels in danger of being 'outraged and insulted at any time.' After intermittent entries made during the next several months, the journal ends on October 12, 1863. Frances A. 'Fannie' Murdoch was born in Mississippi around 1847. Her father, John Murdoch (1813-1861) had been born in Louisiana, attended Yale University (class of 1834), and in 1840 married Frances Louisa Bristol (1819-1875), daughter of a New Haven, Connecticut family. The Murdochs later resided at Cane Mount, their cotton plantation near Rodney (Jefferson County), Mississippi. Fannie was one of eight children and was schooled by private tutors at home with her siblings before briefly attending Professor Baird's school from December 1862 until April 1863. No further information about Fannie Murdoch could be found. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Murdoch, Francis A.

Title A name given to the resource The John Harville Diaries, 1861-1864 (Ms2010-053) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource John McBride Harville (also spelled Harvill) was born in Illinois on January 29, 1839. His family seems to have moved to Beetown, Wisconsin, around 1843, though other records indicate this may have occurred later. Before the early death of his mother when he was five, his parents appeared to have had three other children: Caroline (later Young), who Harville refers to as "Carrie" or "Cary" in his diaries; William; and Elizabeth (later Nickerson), who Harville calls "Lib." For several years, he lived with a foster family (the Sargents). His father, William, remarried and had five more children. By the start of the Civil War, Harville was living with the Batie family in Tafton, Wisconsin. Although Tafton did not have enough men to raise its own company, volunteers from the area, including Harville, joined others to form Company F, 7th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry in Lancaster during the summer of 1861. Harville served primarily in and around Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864. In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913. The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the "Iron Brigade" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers. Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp. The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, MD, facing chronic illness. Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the "Reader" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated. Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment. While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.

Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864. In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913. The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the "Iron Brigade" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers. Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp. The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, MD, facing chronic illness. Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the "Reader" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated. Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment. While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.

Title A name given to the resource The John Harville Diaries, 1861-1864 (Ms2010-053) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource John McBride Harville (also spelled Harvill) was born in Illinois on January 29, 1839. His family seems to have moved to Beetown, Wisconsin, around 1843, though other records indicate this may have occurred later. Before the early death of his mother when he was five, his parents appeared to have had three other children: Caroline (later Young), who Harville refers to as "Carrie" or "Cary" in his diaries; William; and Elizabeth (later Nickerson), who Harville calls "Lib." For several years, he lived with a foster family (the Sargents). His father, William, remarried and had five more children. By the start of the Civil War, Harville was living with the Batie family in Tafton, Wisconsin. Although Tafton did not have enough men to raise its own company, volunteers from the area, including Harville, joined others to form Company F, 7th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry in Lancaster during the summer of 1861. Harville served primarily in and around Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864. In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913. The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the "Iron Brigade" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers. Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp. The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, MD, facing chronic illness. Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the "Reader" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated. Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment. While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.

Title A name given to the resource The John Harville Diaries, 1861-1864 (Ms2010-053) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource John McBride Harville (also spelled Harvill) was born in Illinois on January 29, 1839. His family seems to have moved to Beetown, Wisconsin, around 1843, though other records indicate this may have occurred later. Before the early death of his mother when he was five, his parents appeared to have had three other children: Caroline (later Young), who Harville refers to as "Carrie" or "Cary" in his diaries; William; and Elizabeth (later Nickerson), who Harville calls "Lib." For several years, he lived with a foster family (the Sargents). His father, William, remarried and had five more children. By the start of the Civil War, Harville was living with the Batie family in Tafton, Wisconsin. Although Tafton did not have enough men to raise its own company, volunteers from the area, including Harville, joined others to form Company F, 7th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry in Lancaster during the summer of 1861. Harville served primarily in and around Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864. In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913. The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the "Iron Brigade" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers. Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp. The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, MD, facing chronic illness. Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the "Reader" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated. Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment. While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.

Title A name given to the resource The John Harville Diaries, 1861-1864 (Ms2010-053) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource John McBride Harville (also spelled Harvill) was born in Illinois on January 29, 1839. His family seems to have moved to Beetown, Wisconsin, around 1843, though other records indicate this may have occurred later. Before the early death of his mother when he was five, his parents appeared to have had three other children: Caroline (later Young), who Harville refers to as "Carrie" or "Cary" in his diaries; William; and Elizabeth (later Nickerson), who Harville calls "Lib." For several years, he lived with a foster family (the Sargents). His father, William, remarried and had five more children. By the start of the Civil War, Harville was living with the Batie family in Tafton, Wisconsin. Although Tafton did not have enough men to raise its own company, volunteers from the area, including Harville, joined others to form Company F, 7th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry in Lancaster during the summer of 1861. Harville served primarily in and around Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864. In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913. The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the "Iron Brigade" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers. Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp. The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, MD, facing chronic illness. Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the "Reader" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated. Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment. While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.

Title A name given to the resource The John Harville Diaries, 1861-1864 (Ms2010-053) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource John McBride Harville (also spelled Harvill) was born in Illinois on January 29, 1839. His family seems to have moved to Beetown, Wisconsin, around 1843, though other records indicate this may have occurred later. Before the early death of his mother when he was five, his parents appeared to have had three other children: Caroline (later Young), who Harville refers to as "Carrie" or "Cary" in his diaries; William; and Elizabeth (later Nickerson), who Harville calls "Lib." For several years, he lived with a foster family (the Sargents). His father, William, remarried and had five more children. By the start of the Civil War, Harville was living with the Batie family in Tafton, Wisconsin. Although Tafton did not have enough men to raise its own company, volunteers from the area, including Harville, joined others to form Company F, 7th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry in Lancaster during the summer of 1861. Harville served primarily in and around Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864. In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913. The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the "Iron Brigade" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers. Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp. The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, MD, facing chronic illness. Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the "Reader" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated. Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment. While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.

Hancock Diary, 1862-1863 (Ms2008-008) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1862 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hancock, John H. Description An account of the resource The diary of John H. Hancock, who served in Company H, 29th Massachusetts Infantry during the Civil War. The diary entries cover January-June 1862, with a single entry made from Paris, Kentucky on April 1, 1863. Hancock's diary entries relate largely routine information such as weather conditions, personal health, camp routines, and troop movements. Longer entries relate to orders, marching, battles, and war news. Frequent mentions are made of gun boats. Contrabands and prisoners of war are also mentioned, as are activities of other regiments within the brigade. The last approximately two thirds of the diary were blank pages and were not scanned. John H. Hancock, a sergeant in Company H, 29th Massachusetts Infantry during the Civil War, was born ca. 1841 in Massachusetts. While employed as a clerk, Hancock enlisted as a private at Charlestown, Massachusetts, in a unit that would be designated as Company H, 29th Massachusetts Infantry and join the remainder of the regiment already deployed on the Virginia Pensinsula. Hancock was promoted to corporal on August 3, 1862, and to sergeant on March 15, 1863. Wounded, he was discharged from the service on August 25, 1864. Returning to Massachusetts, Hancock married later that year. Together with his wife, Annie, Hancock resided in Chelsea, Massachusetts, and was employed as a custom house inspector. The couple had several children (including Lucy B., Elizabeth, Annie, Herbert and Edgar W.). John H. Hancock died on September 9, 1913. The 29th Massachusetts Infantry was organized at Newport News, Virginia, in December 1861, combining the existing 1st Battalion Massachusetts Infantry with three new companies (including Company H) organized in the Suffolk County, Massachusetts area. The regiment remained on the Virginia Peninsula until the end of August, participating in battles at Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill. With the failure of the Peninsula Campaign, the 29th withdrew to Washington, D.C., where it assisted in covering the retreat from the second battle of Bull Run, then joined in the advance into Maryland. The regiment saw heavy losses at the Battle of Antietam. During the fall and winter of 1862, the 29th remained in the northern Virginia area. In the spring, it was transferred westward and participated in the siege of Vicksburg and the capture of Jackson, Mississippi. The regiment spent the fall and winter in eastern Tennessee, participating in the battle of Campbell's Station, then was transferred to eastern Virginia, where it took part in the Wilderness Campaign and the siege of Petersburg. After the fall of Petersburg and Richmond, the regiment returned to northern Virginia. It was mustered out of service on July 29, 1865.

He outlived four wives and had at least twelve children. Wilson's diaries include entries on a range of topics from local news and politics, race issues in the South, and much of his personal history. The 1913 diary contains extra pages on which Wilson recorded events from that date in the past. According to his obituary, he learned to read and write in secret. Based on his diary, he was the body servant of A[lexander]. P. Grice, likely the son of his owner, who served with Company A, Cohoon's Battalion, Virginia Infantry, at least during a part of 1862. In 1866, after being freed, Wilson enlisted and went to Europe with the U.S. Navy. When he returned home, he lived in the house he inherited from his mother. Wilson worked at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, as a laborer, and as a bailiff for the Federal Court at Norfolk. In his later years, from 1924 until his death in 1929, he wrote a column called "Colored Notes" for The Portsmouth Star. The column included social news, Wilson's political views, and issues of race relations--all themes that occur throughout his diaries. Wilson was active in the Emmanuel AME Church in Portsmouth, where he taught Sunday school. In June of 1929, Wilson was hit by a car. He died at his son's home, two months later, on August 25, 1929. Entries for the 1913 diary were kept in a Wanamaker's Diary (produced by the department store chain) actually designed for 1911. As a result, Wilson has hand-corrected the days of the week throughout to reflect 1913. The diary includes advertisements, as well as a history of the Wanamaker stores. In addition to the entries recorded (two to a page), throughout the year, Wilson attached additional pages to continue writing. Many of these consists of reminiscences of his life in previous years on topics from the Civil War, his service in the U. S. Navy, segregation and race issues in Portsmouth and Norfolk, and local news. He also writes of daily events: his family's health, church events, the weather, and his frequent concerns about money. In addition, the 1913 diary was the subject of a digital exhibit <a href="http://digitalsc.lib.vt.edu/exhibits/show/wilsondiary" target="_blank">available online</a>.

Hawkins Papers (Ms2008-025) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War Description An account of the resource The principle part of the collection consists of a bound expense/account notebook of James P. Hawkins, agent of the Southern Express Company, which also contains diary entries from 2 April - 10 April 1865, and a collection of loose pages with Hawkins's diary entries for 11 April - 11 May 1865. <p>During this time, Hawkins was responsible for protecting the valuables of the Richmond office of Southern Express. He arrived in Richmond on April 2, the day the city was evacuated, and writes that he had heard nothing of the evacuation until arriving in the city. He describes the chaos of the city; the rumors "thick as flies"; the "ruling rates" for goods; and "burning at Treasury, Capitol, War Dept, etc." He would spend the next several weeks escorting a number of the Company's safes and records to Charlotte by way of Danville and Greensboro, NC. During that time, he reports on 10 April, "Hear for first time of 'Surrender of Lee and his Army'" and on 18 April, of the assassination of Lincoln and the wounding of Seward. On 10 May, Hawkins is appointed Southern Express agent at Danville.</p> <p>In addition to the diary entries, the bound notebook contains notes on his expenses and accounts during his travels, memoranda of various kinds (some entirely crossed out). The loose diary pages--written in the same hand as the bound diary, but, perhaps, copied over at a later date--pick up where the bound diary ends. The loose pages continue with descriptions of each day and news of military developments.</p> <p>Related documents, including special orders, exemption from military service, itemized expenses and receipts, Hawkins's signed Oath of Allegiance to the United States, two letters written to Hawkins, envelopes, and a photograph of an unidentified man taken in a New Orleans studio complete the collection.James P. Hawkins was born in Albemarle Co., Virginia in 1845. The 1850 census shows James, then 5 years old, living with his father, Richard, listed as a harnessmaker, and his mother, Elizabeth, in Charlottesville. By 1860, the family was in Staunton, VA and included daughters Mary and Kate. Also by that year, Richard, James's father, was working as a Stage Agent. The 29 September 1865 issue of theStaunton Vindicator reports that "office of the Adam's Express Company has been refurbished" and that "company agent, Richard Hawkins, has again taken up business in the old quarters." In 1870 and 1880, respectively, Richard Hawkins's profession is listed as Express Agent and Adams Express Agent. The Adams Express Company was the parent company of the Southern Express Company, the company for which James P. Hawkins worked during the war.</p> <p>James P. Hawkins was never mustered into the Confederate Army and was exempt due to his service with Southern Express, a civilian transport company that worked in conjunction with the avenues of Confederate military transportation. He did, apparently, have an affinity for the West Augusta Guard, often referring to the "West A Guard" as "his company." (See Holcomb in Related Materials Note, below). The West Augusta Guard was one of the oldest of the Staunton companies, organized in the summer of 1858, first attached to the 160th Regiment Virginia Militia, and then, in June 1861, becoming Company L, 5th Virginia Infantry.</p> <p>Hawkins's work for Southern Express lasted at least through May 1865 and took him on routes throughout Virginia and North Carolina. On 2 April 1865, he returned to Richmond from North Carolina and found himself in the midst of the evacuation of the city. The events of this and following days are described in his diary.</p> <p>As reported by the Staunton Vindicator (23 December 1870), James P. Hawkins, resident of Danville, VA and Pheilipina Behn McDowell, formerly of Charleston, SC, were married in Staunton on 19 December 1870 at the residence of Richard Hawkins by the Rev. William H. Williams. The 1880 census shows them living as boarders in Danville, with James's occupation listed as tobacconist. In 1900, James and Pheilipina were living in Millboro, Bath Co., Virginia, along with their 17 year-old daughter, Palma. The Staunton Spectator of 21 February 1902 reported that Mrs. James P. Hawkins died on 12 February of that year at their home near Millboro and that three children, two sons and a daughter, survived her, along with her husband. In 1910, James was still in Millboro, living with his now-married daughter, Parma Dill, her husband, James, and their children. James P. Hawkins died on 27 January 1931 and is buried at Windy Cove Presbyterian Church in Millboro Springs, VA.</p> See also Holcomb, Julie.America's Civil War, "Confederate Express Agent James P. Hawkins Got Caught Up in the Evacuation of Richmond," May 2003, Vol. 16, Issue 2, page 58. <p>Three of James P. Hawkins' diaries spanning January 1862 - April 1863, and a letter from James to his mother dated 15 May 1865 can be found in the Hawkins (James P.)

Title A name given to the resource James Miles Diary, 1865 (Ms2010-006) Subject The topic of the resource United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865 Civil War Description An account of the resource The Civil War diary of James Miles, an enlisted soldier in the 185th Regiment of the New York Infantry. The diary describes soldier life and spans from January to March 1865 until the author was killed in action. Entries include descriptions of battles and the deaths of soldiers by snipers. Miles' short entries relate the physical and emotional difficulties of being a soldier as evidenced by an entry about a fellow soldier who had deserted, 'supposed to shoot him but didn't have it in me'. The last entry is on the day before Miles was killed in action which was ten days before the end of the war. James Miles enlisted with Company K of the 185th Regiment, New York Infantry at Syracuse, New York on September 3, 1864. The 185th regiment was organized at Syracuse, New York and Company K was mustered in September 21, 1864. The regiment left for Petersburg, Virginia on September 27, 1864 and was attached to the 1st Brigade, 1st Division, 5th Army corps of the Army of the Potomac until May of 1865. During the term of service, the regiment lost 59 soldiers by death from wounds and 39 enlisted men by death from diseases. Miles was killed in action on March 29, 1865.

Smiley Diary, 1863-1864 (Ms2012-073) Subject The topic of the resource United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865 Civil War Description An account of the resource The diary of Jacob Wallace Smith, a Union sharpshooter with the 7th Company, 1st Battalion, New York Sharpshooters, in the Northern Virginia region.The first few pages of the diary include a brief history of his enlistment. The early entries describe his unit's travels around Alexandria and Northern Virginia. The majority of the entries detail his experiences in and around Culpepper from December 1863 to May 1864. He talks about camp life, drills, daily activities, letters from home, and playing baseball in camp. Smiley's last complete entry was on May 4, 1864, when the regiment moved from Culpepper toward Wilderness. May 5th includes a date and location, but no entry. Smiley was killed in action at the Wilderness later that day. Tucked inside the diary is a CDV of Smiley and his wife, Melissa, probably taken before Jacob was drafted.

Title A name given to the resource Jacob Cohn Diary, 1864 (Ms2008-002) Subject The topic of the resource Civil War United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865 Description An account of the resource The diary of Jacob Cohn, a soldier in Company A, 54th Pennsylvania Infantry during the Civil War. Cohn's brief entries commence with April 14, 1864 and trace his regiment's movements and battles, particularly those at New Market and Piedmont. The entries cease with June 18, 1864, and are followed by the names of Company A's soldiers wounded and killed at the Battle of New Market. The diary also contains various lists of goods and prices, some dated June-September 1863. Jacob Cohn enlisted as a private in Company A, 54th Pennsylvania Infantry on February 10, 1864. He is listed among soldiers who served from Cambria County, Pennsylvania, in which Company A recruited. Cohn's name does not appear on the regiment's muster-out roll, and no further information about him could be found. The 54th Pennsylvania Infantry was organized in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in August and September, 1861, having recruited largely in Somerset and surrounding counties of southwestern Pennsylvania. In February 1862, the regiment was ordered to Washington, D. C., then to Harpers Ferry, (West) Virginia, from which the individual companies were dispatched to guard strategic points along a 60-mile section of the Baltimore &amp; Ohio Railroad. Company A guarded the vicinity of South Branch Bridge. As part of the Union Army's Department of West Virginia, the regiment participated in the Shenandoah Campaign of 1864, engaging the Confederates in several battles, including those at New Market, Piedmont and Lynchburg. In December 1864, the 54th was assigned to the Army of the James and transferred to Petersburg, Virginia. There, it participated in the siege against the city, the pursuit of Lee's forces, and the Appomattox campaign. The regiment was mustered out of service on July 15, 1865.

Description An account of the resource The J. W. Ryland Diary consists of a single Civil War diary kept by J. W. Ryland between September 1863-1865. In his diary, Ryland records activities from September 1863 – January 1866. His entries include the topics of the creation of the Confederate States of America, rail cars, and battles such as the Siege of Charleston, SC, the Siege of Petersburg, the Battle of Sailor’s Creek, the surrender at Appomattox Court House, and the weary Confederate trek home following April 9, 1865. Other entries explain how he has taken it upon his own shoulders to enhance the spiritual life of his fellow soldiers. Although the Confederate States of America surrendered on April 9, 1865, Ryland continued to write about his support for them. In a diary entry dated 1865, Ryland says “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) in the presence of Almighty God that I will henceforth faithfully support, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” There are newspaper clippings attached to the inside of the front and back covers. These clippings include a woman writing to her sisters about not being too eager over the men coming back from war, a report of a French chemist’s discovery, a poem entitled “The Young Widow” and a printing of “General Orders No. 30 217.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ryland, John W.

These clippings include a woman writing to her sisters about not being too eager over the men coming back from war, a report of a French chemist’s discovery, a poem entitled “The Young Widow” and a printing of “General Orders No. 30 217.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ryland, John W.

Babcock, 1864 (Ms2009-129) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1894 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Babcock, Willis A. Description An account of the resource Babcock's Civil War diary begins near Washington, D.C., where his company had been since June 1863. While at Fort Carroll, his entries largely contain descriptions of his duties in camp (drills and guard, police, or orderly duties), as well as rare sight-seeing trips in the city. He occasionally mentions his meals, recording one day in March where he had roast turkey for dinner--several of his friends caught seven turkeys the previous day. Like many soldiers, Babcock frequently records the weather in his diary. In May of 1864, the artillery unit moved to Fort Willard, Virginia. For most of that month, Babcock's diary continues to record picket and guard duties, as well as inspections and dress parades. On May 27, the regiment marched to Washington and loaded on to boats headed down the Potomac River. He spent several days on board the U.S. Transport Jefferson before marching from Port Royal to Bowling Green, Virginia. In early June, the regiment was encamped at General Burnside's Headquarters near Cold Harbor, Virginia. On June 5, 1864, Babcock writes they were being shelled, which resulting in the "killing [of] one man from Co. K....+ one from Co. M. was wounded. this is the first time we have been under fire." He records several days of shelling before moving toward Petersburg. For most of June, July, and into August, Babcock's diary includes lengthy entries of his experiences from the rifle pits in Petersburg, as well as camp life. On July 30, he writes "losses very heavy on both sides our men occupy the same ground they did this morning. a total failure on our side." By mid-August, the 10th New York Heavy Artillery was camped at Fort Whipple, in Arlington, Virginia. In early September, Babcock's entries find him increasingly ill and excused from duty. The regiment left for the Shenandaoh Valley in October and on October 8, Babcock writes, "slept in Hospital to night for the first time since I have been a soldier." He was transferred from Alexandria to Lincoln Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he remained until November. His entries for October are very brief. From November 6 to the end of the year, Babcock's diary is about his activities at home while on furlough. Willis A. Babcock enlisted as a private with Company B of the 10th Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery on December 8, 1862 (he notes his 19-month anniversary in his diary on March 8, 1864). He was probably born around 1840 and was living in Adams, Jefferson County, New York, prior to the Civil War. During November and December of 1864, Babcock was on a furlough which was extended from its initial 12 days to an additional 18 days. He spent it at home in New York. The memorandum section of the diary notes extended furlough pay in December. He appears to have mustered out as a corporal, but it is unclear if this occurred with the regiment or prior to the end of the war. There is no information about his life after the war. The various companies of the 10th Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery were formed during the fall and winter of 1862. By June of 1863 the entire regiment was stationed in Washington, D.C. The regiment remained there until May 1864, when it moved to Cold Harbor, Virginia. The unit fought at a number of significant battles in Virginia, including Cold Harbor, a portion of the Petersburg campaign, and Cedar Creek in the Shenandoah Valley. In December 1864, the regiment moved again and was stationed at Bermuda Hundred, Virginia, until joining the Appomattox Campaign in March 1865, and the final battle at Petersburg in April. The 10th Regiment, New York Heavy Artillery mustered out in June of 1865.

Leonard Papers, 1864-1865 (Ms2011-106) Subject The topic of the resource Petersburg (Va.)--History--Siege, 1864-1865 United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865--Diaries. United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865 Civil War Petersburg (Va.)--History--Civil War, 1861-1865. Description An account of the resource The collection includes William A. Leonard's letters home from February-July 1865, as well as his diary from August 1864-April 1865. Leonard served as an ambulance driver in and around the siege at Petersburg, which is the focus of his short diary entries. His early letters focus on war news and rumors, daily life, and news from home. Letters following Lee's surrender emphasize Leonard's experiences while stationed around Washington, DC, daily life (including the growing frustrations of soldiers wanting to get home) and his complaint's about the rumors and delays of his regiment's discharge and payment. All the letters in this collection were written home to Leonard's parents, usually his mother. He continually reassures her not to worry about him, requests various things from home (especially stamps), and talks about his daily life. He frequently writes about plans for when he gets home. Leonard's religious sentiments also recur throughout his correspondence. He also includes war news and who he has seen, though he reveals his priorities and lack of interest in being a soldier, saying in March 1865: "we have got a good man to steer the machine, that fellow they call U. S. Grant. Sheridan & Sherman are giving them fits. I have seen Grant & Mede a number of times this summer I had a great deal rather see you + Pa. I dont want to see Nora because she wanted me to go soldiering" Although battle descriptions are not necessarily the focus of Leonard's letters, his 1864 correspondence contains details of being fired upon a Petersburg, of picket duty, and later, of transporting injured men. In June 1865, he writes several letters detailing the sight of unburied dead men and horses and the sound of fighting from the front at Petersburg. In May 1865, he writes of the incompetence of the doctors: "The Doctors here dont have any thing fit to give any one and the bigest of them dont know how to doctor a hen anyway. They take the wounded men legs and arms off half the time. when there is no need of it, do it practice there has been a number of times I have heard of that...The Doct of the Regt was a clerk in an apothecary shop..." Leonard's diary begins in August 1864, apparently when he was appointed to drive an ambulance. His entries are short and refer mostly to his daily activities: who or what he was conveying to and from the hospital at City Point outside Petersburg; what letters he sent or received; war news; or when he attended religious meetings. Shortly before the diary ends in April 1865, he notes the firing of guns and cannons "for the death of abram Lincoln President of the U.S. who was shot by a man by the name of Booth." He refers to the death of Lincoln and its effect on the soldiers in several letters, as well. Leonard's own correspondence suggests he kept a previous diary--in August 1864, he inquires if his mother has received the one he sent home--but it is unknown if this diary still exists. William A. Leonard was born about 1843 to Joel A. (b.1817) and Sophia Leonard (1816-d. before 1880). His parents were both natives of Vermont who moved to Massachusetts. William and his two sisters, Leonora (b. abt. 1852; and who William calls "Nora" in his letters and is later listed as "Mary" in a least one set of census records) and Roselia (b. abt. 1859) were all born in Great Barrington, Berkshire County. It is unknown what line of work William Leonard was in prior to the war, though he was living at home with his family. He was drafted into service in July 1863 for a three year term with Company F, 16th Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry. In mid-July 1864, the 16th Infantry mustered out. Existing veterans and recruits, Leonard included, were transferred to the 11th Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry. From at least August of 1864 until Lee's surrender, Leonard served as an ambulance driver, transporting wounded from battlefield to hospital. His unit spent nearly a year in and around Petersburg. While stationed outside Washington, DC, waiting to muster out, Leonard also drove civilians in and around the city. He particularly makes mention of taking family members to hospitals to get news of soldiers. Leonard returned home to Great Barrington in July 1865. In 1880, he was living at home with his father, Leonora and her husband, and Leonora's brother-in-law. At the time, he was employed at a woolen mill. In 1894, he purchased a plumbing and steam fitting business from a former employer. Later census records suggest he was married to a woman named Hattie (probably Henrietta; b. abt. 1863), but it is unknown when. They had daughter, Nellie, in June 1897.
