• Talley Family Civil War Archive Including
  Talley Family Civil War Archive Including Diaries of Joseph R. Talley IL 27th Inf. & Charles Talley DE 7th Inf. 6 letters (4 war-date); 13 documents; 3 diaries (2 war-date); 11 banknotes; 2 photographs. 1853-1934. Joseph R. Talley was one of three men of the same name to enlist in Co. F of then 27th Illinois Infantry from the small town of Piasa. This small collection documenting his Civil War service includes only one letter from Joseph describing events near Nashville in Nov. 1862 including brushes with guerrillas and routing the enemy however the two miniature pocket diaries he left behind provide good insight into his activities in 1863 and 1864 the last two years of his service. Talley's diary for 1863 begins in the midst of combat: 3rd day of the fight of Stones River. We found ourselves behind our breastworks. The enemy charged upon us and were repulsed with heavy loss of life and 110 prisoners. No loss on our side. [Jan 2] Heavy engagement in our center. Our troops driven back one mile after being reinforced. The enemy was driven back with great loss of life. We captured the Washington Star battery as darkness ended the fight... Although Talley did not write daily he wrote more during those periods when his regiment was active particularly during the months of March and the late summer when the regiment took part in the Tullahoma Campaign and operations in East Tennessee. In September the Battle of Chickamauga was the most fearsome thing this veteran had yet seen: We marched 7 miles went into the fight at 9 oclock recaptured the 8th Ind. Battery. Our loss 96 killed and wounded. Lay in line of battle all night and it was very cold sleeping. [Sept. 20] The battle began at 9 oclock AM and by 10 it became general the Rebels line being engaged. Our Army was repelled at every point and was compelled to fall back on Chattanooga. More on the Confederate pressure on Chattanooga in October though the diary peters out in November. In 1864 Talley??Ts regiment joined in the Atlanta Campaign and the diary is filled with action from May through August when he mustered out with almost daily entries up to the fall of Atlanta. Here too the entries are brief but they are a chronicle of a regiment that saw action at Rocky Face Ridge Resaca Dallas New Hope Church Kenesaw Pine Hill Peach Tree Creek and Atlanta. The collection also includes a letter from Talley's nephew in Wilmington Del. reporting on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln (We had the news of our Glorious victory then came the awful news of the murder of our Noble and Beloved President witch was one of the awfulest crimes ever known in history. I never in my life saw sutch morning as there was for Abraham Lincoln every house in Wilmington as well as in Philadelphia had some signs of morning for him whose name shall pass into history as the Savor of the country...) and it is rounded out with Talley??Ts framed discharge from the service and a miscellaneous assemblage of items such as an ornately printed Masonic membership certificate a deed pension form and an award from the Illinois Board of Agriculture for inventing a horse gate. The photographs include an uncased ambrotype of a child seated in a chair and a handsome cabinet card of a group of women. Of special note are several banknotes representing two periods of collecting: a crisp late-war $10 Confederate Treasury note State of Georgia from Milledgeville March 20 1865; and includes some unusual pieces from the Second World War: a German-occupied Czech 50 Kronen note (1940); a Free French 2 franc note (1944); 10 franc French note Sept. 28 1939; 5 frank Belgian note (1943); and one Rentenmark note (1937); 5 francs Banque de l??TIndo-Chine note from Noumea; plus three common Japanese occupation notes and a Japanese 10 centavos note. An additional post-Civil War item included with the Talley Family lot is a 1934 diary from Wilbur B. Talley a leading architect of the early 20th century and one of the founders of the Florida Institute of Architects. Descended Directly in the Talley Family Condition: Condition mixed with expected wear; diaries written in a very small hand on very small pages somewhat tattered but easily legible.

The regiment saw action at Winchester in 1862 Cedar Mountain Chancellorsville and Gettysburg (Little Round Top) among many other engagements large and small.The three diaries in this collection (fully transcribed here) cover the period between Jan. 1862 and October 27 1864. Although they are the small (16mo) pocket diaries favored by some soldiers Butterfield writes in a minute hand and thus includes more content than most. His diary for 1862 includes very brief entries often almost telegraphic but in 1863 he adds more meat to his literary bones. May 1: We lay in line of battle till noon when cannonading commenced when we marched to the front and the rebels shelled us but did no harm about 3 o'clock we marched back to our former position and lay on our arms all night. The revels came most on to us but the 3rd Wisconsin stopped them. Their Colonel was killed. There was a good deal of skirmishing all of the afternoon. May 2 the regiment was flanked and attached in their rifles pits and under heavy fire May 3 We went into battle early in the morning and drove the rebels a while but they made out to drive us with great loss. We had several wounded but how many killed we have not learned. It was a very hard fight on both sides but we had to fall back a mile or so and in the afternoon we made a little coffee the first for twenty-four hours.Butterfield's description of Gettysburg is particularly noteworthy. The 2nd were ordered to undertake a suicidal charge at Culp's Hill sustaining over 40 percent casualties. Their memorial was the first veteran's memorial erected on the battlefield. On July 1 Butterfield reports the death of Gen. Reynolds and marching into position and sleeping on their arms all night. July 2 he writes: We moved up early in the morning and formed a new line of battle with the Corps on our left we stopped until 8 when we moved up to where they were fighting. We lay in line of battle all day there was hard fighting on the let we moved over there but were not engaged so countermarched and took our old place. The Rebs has got our breast works. [July 3] We got no sleep last night and went into the fight early in the morning our loss was very heavy -- six killed and seventeen wounded [of Co. A]. The battle lasted all day long and it was the hardest battle of the war. We went into the entrenchments on the afternoon and stopped all night... [July 4] We were relieved from the entrenchments early in the morning and returned to our old place where we stopped two hours then marched on a flank movement. We marched about six miles and returned to our old place and found no revels in front of us but found plenty of dead rebels.The 2nd Mass. transferred to Tennessee later in 1863 remaining there through the end of their service. Documents the collection include Butterfield's discharge five items relating to his pension and a wonderful uncommon printed "Form for examining a recruit" filled in for Butterfield Oct. 17 1861. Topping off the whole is a heartfelt letter of recommendation from Col. William Cogswell for Butterfield Oct. 11 1864 as he was leaving the service: He has been a faithful reliable intelligent & conscientious non commissioned officer a prompt & particularly cool & courageous soldier in action. If he intends to remain in civil life his services in the army entitle him to very high considerations and he is worthy of & fit for the responsibilities & emoluments of a good position. If he should return to Military life certainly his experience entitles him to a higher position than the one he now holds.A fine collection from an illustrious regiment.? Condition: Expected wear and age toning; good condition on balance.
