This diary captures the experiences of a young officer in the Tenth Vermont Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War, particularly focusing on the year 1864 and part of 1865 until the war's conclusion. The work is significant for its firsthand perspective on the battles, challenges, and everyday life of soldiers during this tumultuous period, particularly during General U.S. Grant's campaigns.
