If you or your family have unpublished Civil War letters or diaries I would love to get transcripts  (or photocopies) of them. I am especially interested in the Western Theater and the Trans-Mississippi region. Also, if you would like transcriptions of the diaries or letters from my research please contact me: admin -at- blog4history.com

  My great-great grandfather was a 3rd Sgt. in Co. I of the 11th Wisconsin Infantry, along with his brother. I have a portion of his civil war diary dating from April to August of 1863. It is a daily description of everything he did and saw, beginning with the battle at Port Gibson, through the siege of Vicksburg and ending in New Orleans. He was captured during the battle at Sabine Crossroads and spent several months at a rebel prison in Tyler, TX. (Camp Ford) I am working on getting the other parts of his diary which cover those days as well. He mustered out in November 1864 with his brother. I am very interested in reading your book and wonder if there is anything about my 2nd gr-grandfather in your collection.
  Thanks for some interesting reading.
