David K. Lucas Vermont 3rd LightDavid K. Lucas Vermont 3rd Light Artillery Civil War Archive Lot of 9 featuring small pocket diary.David Lucas left breadcrumbs to document the last year of his service during the Civil War providing brief telegraphic accounts of the weather and goings on in camp with little very action until April 1865. No literary stylist Lucas got right to the point:April 6: Warm and cloudy. I write this in Petersburg City. Return from the city on the cars. Had a tip top time...April 7. Warm and cloud. Jo and me are warshing to day. Quit raing this AM. Seventy five thousand prisinors. The news in our favor. All is well.April 8: Warm and pleasant. Warshed the carriage for inspection. The garilers are commencing their abuse. We will straiten them.April 9: Warm and pleasant. Mounted inspection this PM. Shannon captured five Generals and many prisinors. All is well.His diary also includes a brief mention of his battery giving a 21 gun salute for Lincoln's funeral and a 100 gun salute upon receiving news of the surrender f Johnson's forces. Other entries mention tending horses and equipment and the journey home in June after which he becomes a less regular diarist. His last includes immortal entries such as Been digging turnips.Slender as it is Davis's diary is an utterly typical relic of the Civil War left by a typically laconic New England soldier and it provides a useful chronicle of the last days of the Confederacy in Virginia. Good condition with typical wear to the leather binding and some age toning to the paper.The lot also includes some of Lucas' personal belongings including: silver gelatin photograph of Lucas in old age mounted on horse in GAR parade 2.5 x 4 in.

Talley Family Civil War ArchiveTalley 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.
