 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
This is a Diary kept by a man, who I am guessing was a Civil War Veteran, regarding his trip from Aug. 6, 1891 to October 18, 1891, on his search of the Battlefield relics. He starts in Gettysburg, and hits Chambersburg, Fredericksburg, the Wilderness, Harpers Ferry and other areas of interest to a Civil War buff. He describes finding minnie balls, shells, belt hooks and at one point a belt. He tells about staying in hay Barns and helping cut corn for the privilege of camping t He mentions the weather, but often says that he is worn out. He mentions shipping his artifacts to Gettysburg. T are several pages torn out, blank pages in the center and to the rear, he lists the monuments he also visited, and the names of soldiers inscribed on them. He mentions seeing the place John Brown was tried and executed, and wonders about Brown's Kansas exploits and how much he had to do with hastening the Rebellion. The first 2 pages have been almost totally erased (the last photo), and from what is still visible, it seems to be his last will and testament...he mentions disbursing his clothing and his blankets, mentions giving someone his artifacts, and someone else, his gun. One page is torn out of this section...almost as if his last wishes were not add to... It has some minor silverfish damage. I haven't found the owners name. Folded, it measures 5"x3.25". Pers checks must clear prior to shipping. Shipping and Handling in CONUS would be $6.00, insurance would be extra and would be required.
