CIVIL WAR DIARY OF LIEUTENANT JAMES SLADE, 10TH GEORGIA VOLUNTEERS FROM THE GREENE MUSEUM.

This typical pocket diary with integral closure and cover which is about 100 pages long is almost completely filled in with much detail of his service beginning May 19, 1862 through December 16th. Book nicely shows his name in pencil “Lieut. Jas. J. Slade Co.A Temp Georgia Volunteers.” Slade was from Columbus GA. The 10th Georgia made it to Virginia just in time to participate in the battles of the Peninsula and Slade describes fighting on the Chickahominy on second page of diary. He goes on to describe the battles and fighting around Richmond over about 54 pages until he leaves for home July 11th back in Columbus Georgia. Slade stays in Columbus and mentions that Major FW Dillard, Quartermaster, pays him $50 in advance and furnishes transportation for his next assignment in Vicksburg MS which he reaches November 8th. By mid-November he is in Natchez MS describing cattle from Texas being bought with counterfeit Confederate funds. He describes Yankee gunboats on the Mississippi river and his last entry, December 16th, he has arrived in Montgomery. Slade’s records are sparse but we do know he was with the 10th Georgia in the 1862 campaigns around Richmond until coming home in July and being re-assigned with General Kirby Smith in the trans-Mississippi department. Details of the 10th Georgia in Virginia in 1862 are in good detail, several pages are shown in online catalog. Also included in this lot is a small folding pocket wallet typical of Civil War Era. SIZE: 6″ h x 3″ l, Wallet: 4″ h x 2″ l. PROVENANCE: From the Greene Museum of Southern History. CONDITION: Fair to good overall, pages are written with a mix of pencil and ink but most text is quite discernible and easily read. 9-28033 (1,000-2,000) – Lot 1386
