About This Item
South Bend, IN: Michael Downs, 2000. First edition. Fine. 4to, 162 pages, plastic comb bound
Wade started keeping a daily diary when he joined the 73rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry, formed in South Bend, Indiana, and active from 1862 to 1865. It is especially strong for its description of Wade's experience in the Battle of Stone's River. He and his troops spent a lot of time in Tennessee and northern Alabama. His daily entries are lengthy, not the three-to -a- page notes about the weather in a tiny diary book. Col. Wade continued his legal studies after the war.

Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16.
