Osborne joined the Confederate Army in the spring of 1861. He had no idea what he was getting into. Before he was captured in April 1865, he had been in numerous battles. In his diaries, he constantly complained about the miles and miles of marching through the countryside. He and his fellow soldiers seldom had enough food or supplies. He helped scour battlefields after the fighting, searching for food, weapons, ammunition, and supplies. Letter writing was an everyday ocurrence. Often his poor health required him to help guard the ammunition train or aid with the sick and wounded in various hospitals. Some of his writings about fighting, especially at Antietam and Gettysburg, make us wonder how any of the soldiers survived the war.
The Civil War Diary, 1862-1865, of Charles H. Lynch 18th Conn. Vol's.
Isaac H.M. Pray began his journal on the day of his enlistment on Monday, the 6 th day of October, 1862, as a volunteer in Company K. 13 th Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers. The four diaries of Isaac H.M. Pray were transcribed just as they were written, in the language and spelling of the writer and only appear corrected when it was difficult to read the entries. It is a view of the Civil War through a common soldier at a time when few could read or write. The diaries were written in a nearly indelible ink that withstood rain, snow and handling and some were written with a lead or graphite type pencil. In places where the diaries were rain damaged, he wrote over the old entries. An effort was made to transcribe those original notes and compare the wording to the overlaying notes.The diaries were passed down through the family of Isaac H.M. Pray through his Grand niece, Estelle Thomas Pray Estes and her husband Robert Francisco Estes, of Rangely, Maine and then to their daughters Elizabeth Estes Pray Zimba and Elaine Estes Pray Sandoval.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian C. Vann Woodward and Chesnut's biographer Elisabeth Muhlenfeld present here the previously unpublished Civil War diaries of Mary Boykin Chesnut. The ideal diarist, Mary Chesnut was at the right place at the right time with the right connections. Daughter of one senator from South Carolina and wife of another, she had kin and friends all over the Confederacy and knew intimately its political and military leaders. At Montgomery when the new nation was founded, at Charleston when the war started, and at Richmond during many crises, she traveled extensively during the war. She watched a world "literally kicked to pieces" and left the most vivid account we have of the death throes of a society. The diaries, filled with personal revelations and indiscretions, are indispensable to an appreciation of our most famous Southern literary insight into the Civil War experience.
On a crisp fall day in October of 1862, a precocious seventeen-year-old boy went into a bookshop in his hometown of Hagerstown, Maryland, and purchased a composition book. Into his new diary, John R. King would steadfastly record what he did, saw and heard daily, as the Civil War raged around him. During May of 1862, after learning the photography trade, John took portraits of Union soldiers stationed in the Shenandoah Valley. Then, on May 23, 1862, when he heard the sounds of battle, he attempted to flee on a wagon. He was soon captured by Stonewall Jackson's troops. His treasured diary was taken. Force marched to a Confederate prison, John vowed revenge. Two weeks after escaping from captivity, John joined the Union Army. He fought with fury, courage and valor, was wounded three times and became a war hero. Later, John was not only appointed by two presidents to prestigious positions in the Pension Bureau, but he also became leader of the Grand Army of the Republic. After being lost for 150 years, his diary was recently discovered and is now being published.
