‎(CIVIL WAR SOLDIER DIARY)‎

‎1862 Diary Of Civil War Soldier Sergeant Edward Allen Goodwin Killed April 16 1862‎

‎EDWARD ALLEN GOODWIN unknown-1862. Goodwin was the Sergeant in Company K of the 23rd Regular Massachusetts Volunteers. This is the diary of Edward A. Goodwin Co. K 23rd Regt. M. of. M. This diary is THE AMERICAN UNION DIARY FOR 1862 an annual published diary accessible and likely provided to Union soldiers during the Civil War. After a few pages that include a calendar and interest tables the diary provides space for each day of the year 1862. Goodwin wrote entries every day from January 1st to April 7th and none thereafter. At the time Goodwin was serving in the 23rd Massachusetts Infantry Regiment which was a part of the Coast Division under General Ambrose Burnside. Entries are handwritten in either pencil or black ink. Notable entries include: aFriday 7: Naval engagementplace lasting from noon till sunset. Troops were landedin the afternoon and evening. Bivouacked on Roanoke Island in the rain. b Saturday 8: Captured a rebel battery in a swamp. Took 3000 rebel provisions and the whole island wasSergt. Howard hurt his foot. W.S. Clark missing. Both entries describe the Battle of Roanoke Island fought February 7th and 8th 1862. Part of General Ambrose Burnsides expedition to capture key ports in the Outer Banks the battle first saw Union gunboats first firing on Confederate forts under the command of Henry Wise until Burnsides soldiers could land ashore unopposed. and the forts on shore engaged in a gun battle with occasional contributions from the Mosquito Fleet. The next day the Union soldiers successfully flanked the Confederate artillery and infantry defenders on both sides forcing a retreat into the Confederate forts. The forts were then individually taken with the Union suffering only 264 casualties and capturing 2500 Confederate defenders. c Friday 14: Fought the battle of New Bern. Took over 100 pieces of artillery ammunitioncamp equipment &c. I arrived at night in the tents of the enemy. This entry describes the Battle of New Bern fought on March 14th 1862. After first advancing up the Trent River General Burnside had his soldiers exploit the weakened center of the line of the defending Confederates under Lawrence O'B. Branch. This allowed the Union Navy to shell Fort Thompson forcing its abandonment and shortly thereafter the city of New Bern too. 90 Union soldiers were killed and 64 Confederates were killed and 413 were captured. d Monday 31: Sick all day. Took horses.e Monday 7: Saw Amoat the hospital. DeceasedRain in the afternoon. These two entries foreshadow Goodwins ultimate fate including his last entry on April 7th 1862. Goodwin would pass away in New Bern on April 16th. Having survived two major battles unscathed at least according to his diary Goodwin most likely succumbed to disease. It is estimated that 2/3 of Civil War soldiers who died during the war died of disease not in battle. His body was ultimately returned to Massachusetts and is buried in Mansfield. The pages of the journal are in good condition but the exterior of black leather is frayed and partially torn. It should be handled very delicately but its value as a lens into the mindset of a Civil War soldier is immense. hardcover‎

‎(CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL)‎

‎An Early 20th-Century Travel Journal From A Cruise Through The Caribbean Written By A Man From Hudson New York‎

‎CARIBBEAN TRAVEL JOURNAL. Diary. 101 pages. The Caribbean. c. 1908-9. The handwritten journal belonging to C. B. Benson of Hudson New York. The diary recounts Bensons experience on an organized cruise group visit to Caribbean locations such as St. Thomas Puerto Rico Kingston Jamaica Caracas Venezuela Panama City Panama Port of Spain Trinidad and Martinique. Benson records his experiences in each location including his impressions of the town the locals sights he visited and local travel. He visited forts a school churches a mill a sugar plantation and Carnival celebrations. Benson took his tour during the era of colonial rule the attitudes of which infuse both his experiences and observations. Based on his mention of an earthquake in Kingston Jamaica taking place a year or two before he travelled in 1908 or 1909. St. Thomas where we arrived about 6 A.M. mid morning Jan 26 is one of the Virgin group and we found her framed and frescoed in the principal churches. Columbus in 1493 gave the group of 100 islands rocks andwhich comprise the group. St. Thomas is 13 miles in length and 3 miles in width at its broadest. And I guess we walked the length of it speaking broadly and in the abstract at this distance.The heat of the tropical sun also takes its toll and blurs our ideas of time and distance somewhat. The town of Charlotte Amelia contains 13000 inhabitants merchants and black babies and they are all dressed in their Sunday best to receive us properly.Thursday morning at 8 we went ashore at Porto sic Rico.Returning thro the village streets we stopped at the market place and noticed the display of fruits in baskets a couple of men seated on low stools with blacks in front of them.a native womanwas entertaining us in the middle of the road with a dance.When passing the island of Haiti.Do you know why we do not stop at the Island of Haiti No There are cannibals there there are so many fat people aboard you would lose your wife At St Thomas the American council held open house and received some of us who dared to invade this solitude.An hours railroad ride which was made interesting by stops at every littleand station where the bare legged boy with the oil gun in hand squirted oilbearings sic of the cars and engine. As it was before the 17 miles came to an end the rear axle of the parlor car so called because it had leather covered reclining seats caught fire. But when this happened we were nearly at the end of our journey and we were not delayed much. At the sugar plantation where we detrained we found we had some distance to walk downto the sugar mill. As there was no path and the sticky wet ground to soil made worse by the heavy rain of the night before.A sugar mill is never a clean place.The process is somewhat intricate but way he likened to the process of brewing.The cane piled up in the yard is boiled in a number of vats then is run off with barrels and in a black and solid state in shipped to the Refineries at New York. The fiber of the cane is then hardened and dried and is fed to the furnaces to boilcane. After return to the town San Juan we visited the shops. Walked out to the fort at the entrance of the harbor. The town is excellently policed and paved in the principal streets with telegram blocks.As this day was Thursday we concluded that every day was wash day for the native women and girls who for want of other diversions spend most of their time in this form of dissipation. Even the balconies of the main public street filled with traffic of street cars carriages and drays had their fill of wash some of which are found laying in the street having been carried down by the wind. No one had appropriated it as yet; and we did not add it to our collection of souvenirs. At the officers quarters I applied for a permit of the officer of the day to enter the fort San Cristobal the fort commanding the entrance to the harbor.The fort was like most forts. The high tower gave a commanding view of the town and harbor. Then we visited the Governors Palace. In the Reception Room hanging on opposite sides facing each other are life sized oil paintings of McKinley & Cleveland. In the garden were some large palms tropical ferns a fountain &.Jan 29. early in the morning we were at Kingston in Jamaica. The channel is narrow and tortuous but well Taking a local pilot we soonopposite itof three vessels one of which was the Princess Louise that was caught in the hurricane here three years ago andthe larger of the three vessels was trying to pick up the light from the light house which had been blown down. This destruction of the hurricane.After driving about a mile thru the city the destruction to the buildings & pavements made by the earthquake here a year or two ago half of the city seems to be in ruins and no attempt has been made apparently to rebuild & restore the city. Thousands of lives were lost here at that time which did immense damage to the fruits. Most of the uninhabitable part of the island belongs to the United Fruit Company a Boston Corporation who ships immense quantities of bananas from Port Antonio. Owing to recent destruction by fire of Hotel Litchfield our stop at the port of San Antonio and stay of night at the Hotel was omitted. An excursion across the island by train to Mandeville was arranged in its place.The town of Colon in its principle streets are paved with brick and appear clean. We noticed many buzzards. The air was clear and there was a delightful cool breeze blowing.We stopped at all of the stations going to Panama and noted the wonderful impressions made by the Sanitary Commission. The well ventilated and screened houses. The plan for disposal of garbage the open drainage the cleared landsBut of course the facts are here bug and drain all working to the mutual exclusion of some ideas to the American white employers. Therefore after a few months they must have a reaction in the States toand detach themselves from all absorbing facts. The fighting for life againstfires. Most things arebetween the white employers and the black employees. So we find the White Bar and the Black Bar The White Employees The Silver White Employees &c as signs on the cars intended to carry workmen back and forth from the works.Caracas the capital of Venezuela is about 3000 ft up but the sun in the middle of the day we found very hot.Plaza Bolivar was decorated with rows of colored electric lights. They are preparing for the Carnival season which ushers in Lent in Catholic countries. The market place had counters for dry goods highly colored handkerchiefs etc. Another section was devoted to fruits vegetables etc. We noticed some very large apricots. Mr. Bolivar apparently has done a great deal for his native town. He has given his name while the people furnished the funds for the largest parks a street and the coinage of the plutocrats.The Spaniard theHildago -in his easy subjugation of thepleasure loving tropical savage has replaced the native of simple taste and left in his place the mongrel half-breed with all the vices of the conqueror and none of the virtues of theIndian savage. The diary is in very good condition. It is mostly written in pencil but is quite legible. hardcover‎

‎(FRENCH TOUR JOURNAL)‎

‎The 1951 Journal Of An American Writer Living In Paris And Travelling In Western Europe‎

‎EUROPEAN TOUR JOURNAL. Handwritten journal. May 22-December 18 1951. France England Italy and Switzerland. 101 pages. The journal of an American man living in Paris and travelling throughout France and surrounding countries. The early part of the journal describes his daily life in Paris including friends and social life love life gossip literature music and aspirations as a writer. He also writes extensively about tennis of which he was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable fan. He attends an international tennis tournament in Paris in May and goes to London for Wimbledon in late June. The latter two-thirds of the journal recount the authors travels. First he takes a whistle-stop tour of France visiting places such as Rouen Mont St. Michel Biarritz and Lourdes. Then he spends time in Italy and Switzerland before ending up back in Paris. In each location he describes leisure activities visiting museums and churches hotels and the local scenery in greater or lesser detail. Most notably he visits the beaches of Normandy only a few years after D-Day: Finally I got to the tiny hamlet of St. Laurent s Mer & the sign Visitez Ohama Beach. I drove down a quiet road & suddenly burst out onto the beach itself a lonely barren stretch made more so by a high mind to the presence of the resting hulks of invasion craft lying mortally stranded just offshore in an angry green sea. There are piles of rusted neglected equipment corresponding to the wrecks in the water which are being collected together by French workmen. A few campers had pitched their tents amongst gasoline drums huge cannisters & decayed tank. I drove slowly along the beach made muddy by recent rain until I came to what had once been a German gun emplacement which according to a plaque had been utilized on D-Day by the CG of the Engineers as his HQ. The German gun a 37 mm still faced through an aperture staring emptily out at the wrecks offshore. Amongst these latter were the concrete slacks that I guessed to be the remains of the preliminary artificial harbour they had sunk right away. The scene with the forgotten appurtenances of war was one of the most indescribable desolateness & I felt in the grip of the strongest of emotions. June 1944 came back to me & how we heard the news of the invasion over loud-speakers in Hangar AD-1 at Burtonwoof & if I listened carefully I felt I could hear the guns booming & the l/cs chugging up to shore & the GIs splashing out in the cold water & moving slowly but desperately up the beach pinned down by the German fire from concrete emplacements & from the high green eminence which rises abruptly from the beach & runs all along the shore. How many men had met their end right where I was standing How many had coughed out their hopes & their life in the din of that horror never understanding why it had to happen to them But I couldnt ear a thing only the sound of the wind & the sea and all I could see were those obscene wrecks & the Frenchmen working among them. This lively journal is in fine condition overall and the writing is uniformly easy to read. unknown‎

‎(1950 JAPAN DIARY & PHOTO ALBUM)‎

‎The Diary Of An American Officer Stationed In Japan In 1950; It Includes Dozens Of Photographs Of Labor Protests And The Officers Comments About The Unrest And Communism‎

‎JAPAN. Diary. January 14 1950 to late 1954. Various places Philadelphia Japan Fort Meade. A lengthy diary of an American officer Lieutenant Louis T. Holtz who was stationed in Japan during the Korean War. It was written on dozens of sheets of loose-leaf notebook pages and it contains many black and white photographs with captions as well as newspaper and magazine cutouts and brochures from places he visited. The diary begins on January 14 1950 in Philadelphia and he discuses seeing shows and such but notes that All in all this constituted a very enjoyable ten days of leave prior to going overseas. Sometimes I wish I could stay at home and live a normal routine life like everyone else. Other times I find myself eager to goAlmost two years ago who could forecast a war in Korea and the manner in which it would rip everyones life to shreds He writes on January 2 1951 from Kurume Japan: perhaps 10 years from now it the diary will be of interest if any of our civilization remains in 1961I collapsed 28 June and spent 3 weeks in the hospital with excessive fatigueI am the Officer-in-charge of the Kurume Office with an area of jurisdiction of approximately 1000 square miles. In April 1951 he mentions I am very busy in my position as OIC Officer In Charge. Its a full 7-day-a-week jobThe Korean mess has everyone guessing as to eh future of the Far Eastbeing the senior official in an area of jurisdiction of nearly 10000 square miles with dozens of mayors and police chiefs constantly catching my every word as official. The next couple dozen pages contain black and white photographs of protests in Japan and Holtzs commentary about the images including When people get hurt propaganda fills the air. The winner: the Kremlin always! Demonstrations take planning and people. You can always be sure the plans were framed in red and the spectators sprinkled liberally with dye-hard communist stooges Demonstrations & rallies are usually fantastically well organized. And as often as not they can be unbelievably orderly and But orderly or violent you can always be sure there is a professional communist keeping the sheep in line or arousing them to maximum fury. In September 1951 Holtz writes from Sapporro life in the Armed Services has been a miserable one because of one bad experience after anotherKurume was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable assignments I ever held. The 45th was without doubt the most bitter and least enjoyable. I gave up so much for so little. Holtz was in Californias Camp Stoneman in November 1951: with all the hundreds of officers here not particularly anxious to go overseas and with several actually fighting the assignment I was amazed to find that someone eager to return is sidetracked so abruptly. He was back in Japan by December and then wrote a lengthy entry entitled The Korean Story starting with Combat precautions make it mandatory that no diaries or personal papers be kept where they may fall into enemy hands and he spends the next seven pages describing his experiences in the Korean War. Holtz wrote in part: Things had not gone well at all with Trubotas unit prior to August 1951. After my arrival working results proved very satisfactoryThree other officers has also joined up in the interim between leaving Sapporo and going to KoreaWhen oriented in Tokyo they were told that the 45th Detachment would remain in Sapporo and they had already alerted their families to start to prepare to join them overseasI had to fight Trubota in order to be able to fight the enemy. In one occasion I was reprimanded for going to a forward observation post and not being personally available to answer the telephone at my CP and the section finishes with a photograph of the USS Marine Lynx the ship that brought him home. The diary continues with his being stationed at Marylands Fort Meade. There are photographs of the mansion he occupied in Kyushu Japanese women at the beach his fellow soldiers after a bowling tournament etc. There are Samples of United Nations propaganda leaflets dropped on North Korean positions early in the Korean conflict that show Truman and MacArthur a December 7 1950 letter signed by the mayor of Kurume City Japan. The condition is fine to very fine. unknown‎

A VERY RARE ORIGINAL PENNED DIARY & NOTEBOOK . . . BY A HONG WEI BING CHINESE RED GUARD . . . BAREFOOT DOCTOR . This "Hong Wei Bing" "Red Guard" note book was published in Beijing July 1967. It was a popular item with the "Red Guards" during the "Wenhua Da Geming" "Cultural Revolution". We have a few of these please inquire. . The book was published with a red cloth spine over boards and has 100 pages which = 200 pages/sides in all. . THE SUBJECT OF THIS DIARY: This diary was made a person who appears to be a "Barefoot Doctor" assigned to a rural location the last entry is May 16 1969 per the penned name & date on the last page. . The diary contains medical treatment exceptionally useful during the chaotic "Cultural Revolution" when "Red Guards" engaged in fights and confrontations of accused landlords moneylenders capitalists and ordinary Chinese who objected to being man-handled. The "Red Guards" were often injured or involved in fist-fights and other confrontations which caused them injury. . This diary/notebook was made to teach its author how to treat injured fellow "Red Guards." . It was also an early form of "Barefoot Doctors." That is to say amateur medical providers who treated 'ad-hoc' injuries as well as useful to those young "Red Guards" who went into the countryside to treat peasants who had no access to any medical parishioners. . SUBJECT: CONTINUED: . Sea navigation depends on the helmsman and our great helmsman is Chairman Mao. We must hold high the great banner of Mao Zedong Thought and carry the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution through to the end. Turn socialist China into an iron-clad country of the proletariat and fulfill the glorious historical mission entrusted to us by the Chinese people and the people of the world. . The great leader Chairman Mao and his close comrade-in-arms Comrade Lin Biao stood side by side on the Tiananmen Rostrum watching the mighty parade. Chairman Mao happily said to Comrade Lin Biao "This movement is very large-scale it has indeed mobilized the masses and it has indeed had a great effect on the ideological revolutionization of the people of the whole country." . The millions of people at the General Assembly of Disabled Peoples expressed their determination in the Under the leadership of the great leader Chairman Mao carry the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution to the end. . . . The content of this notebook is all medical and we believe it belonged to a "Barefoot Doctor" who was assigned to some distant province and outback where he practiced medicine in the deep rural area. It contains a wealth of medical knowledge and treatment concepts. . COLOR PHOTOS OF MAO & LIN BIAO: This book originally issued blank came with 4 1966 color photos of: a. Chairman Mao with Hong Wei Bing Red Guard red arm band on his life arm. This was more than likely the August 8th or 16th mass Beijing Tiananmen rally where the Red Guards were officially greeted and sanctioned by Mao. . b. The "Great Helmsman" shows Mao again at Tiananmen where he greeted the throngs he holds a cigarette and waves. . c. Another profile of Mao and Lin Biao as they greet the throngs in an early August 1966 mass rally at Tiananmen Square. . d. A color photo of the Tiananmen Square mass rally of the millions. The hold a banner advocating the Cultural Revolution."Man Sui" "Long Live the Cultural Revolution." . Each color photo has a caption indicating the historic setting. . Color photos are posted to our website. . CONDITION: . The book is bound in the original publisher's red cloth spine over red boards which has a front cover title reading: HONG WEI BING" "RED GUARDS. This was originally a blank book later filled-in by a young Red Guard. .
