Andrew F. Davis diary, 1861-1862 |
Civil wars, Military life, Battlefields, Bennett, T. W. McKee, Mark McKee, E.C. Davis, Orilla, United States Indiana, United States West Virginia Cheat Mountain, United States Tennessee Nashville, 1860-1870 |
The diary begins (presumably after the fact) as follows: "Liberty, Union County, Indiana, April 23, 1861. This day I enlisted in a company of volunteers under the command of Capt. T. W. Bennett." Information on Captain Bennett reveals that he was at the Battle of Cheat Mountain, one of the first engagements of the war and the first at which General Robert E. Lee directed an offensive against Brigadier General Joseph Reynolds. This journal is kept in a lined small ledger book, with entries of varying length as the situation demands. The ink in this part of the diary is faded to near illegibility but the dates coincide with the dates of the Battle of Cheat Mountain, September 12-15. He describes a battle on October 3 and 4, as well, in the area of Cheat Mountain. He writes to Sally, his wife, and has three daughters. He writes to E.C. McKee [his father-in-law?] and Mark McKee. The journal ends at Nashville on March 13, 1862. In his diary he speaks of Orilla and Nan, who are the daughters of Andrew F. Davis, so it is believed that this is the diary of Davis, who lived near Liberty. Orilla Davis apparently married Philip Conard, |
