Abstract:
Diary of Captain Thomas Slagg, Company H, 3rd Wisconsin Infantry from 1864. The diary covers the 3rd Wisconsin's participation in the Atlanta Campaign from May to October of 1864. Slagg's entries provide brief daily summaries of his activities, including what time he woke up, the weather, how far the company marched and where they camped, any fighting that took place, and how many men were wounded or killed. Carte-de-visite portraits of men in Civil War uniforms, apparently compiled by Thomas Slagg. Most are identified by name and the majority served in the 3rd Wisconsin Infantry, especially in companies H and K.
