Civil War diary, written in a Daily pocket remembrance for 1865, by John R. Hunt Jr. in Washington D.C., records his work endorsing papers in the War Dept.; his social activities, including visits to the theatre and the war ships Monitor and Stonewall; as well as war rumors and observations of Lincoln's assassination and funeral. Many gaps in diary, notably when he leaves Washington in May for Ohio, with few entries until he returns to Washington in October. In November he comments on the hanging of Andersonville Military Prison commandant, Henry Wirz. Also includes nine calling cards printed for J.R. Hunt, Jr. and for [his mother], Mrs. Dr. J.R. Hunt and a tin type in oval gilt matte depicting Hunt in slouch hat with his hand on the hilt of an infantry sabre.
Collection includes correspondence, deeds, receipts, miscellaneous items, and typescripts of two oral histories. One interview was with John Hunt and was conducted by Mary Rusher for the Utah Historical Society Oral History Program on 16 July 1973. The other interview was with John Hunt and his wife, Grace, and was conducted by Samuel Moon on 17 July 1975. Most of the items deal primarily with John Hunt's business activities, while the oral histories relate to the history of the Blanding, Utah area and to relations with the Navajo Indians.
In the early decades of the American Republic, American soldiers demonstrated and defined their beliefs about the nature of American republicanism and how they, as citizens and soldiers, were participants in the republican experiment through their service. In For Liberty and the Republic, Ricardo A. Herrera examines the relationship between soldier and citizen from the War of Independence through the first year of the Civil War. The work analyzes an idealized republican ideology as a component of soldiering in both peace and war. Herrera argues that American soldiers’ belief system—the military ethos of republicanism—drew from the larger body of American political thought. This ethos illustrated and informed soldiers’ faith in an inseparable connection between bearing arms on behalf of the republic, and earning and holding citizenship in it. Despite the undeniable existence of customs, organizations, and behaviors that were uniquely military, the officers and enlisted men of the regular army, states’ militias, and wartime volunteers were the products of their society, and they imparted what they understood as important elements of American thought into their service. Drawing from military and personal correspondence, journals, orderly books, militia constitutions, and other documents in over forty archives in twenty-three states, Herrera maps five broad, interrelated, and mutually reinforcing threads of thought constituting soldiers’ beliefs: Virtue; Legitimacy; Self-governance; Glory, Honor, and Fame; and the National Mission. Spanning periods of war and peace, these five themes constituted a coherent and long-lived body of ideas that informed American soldiers’ sense of identity for generations.
