Description
Diary kept by Jackson S . Stuchal in 1861 . The diary contains several pages of poems and verses , some of which were copied while others were written by Stuchal himself . The diary also includes a record of Stuchal's day to day activities as a soldier in Company A of the 61st Regiment , Pennsylvania Volunteers . The diary itself is a datebook from 1860 , so Stuchal has had to scratch off and rewrite the dates for most of his entries . Stuchal is camped at various locations near Washington , D.C . and Alexandria , Virginia . He visits Mount Vernon and sees where George Washington is buried . He also visits wounded soldiers in a hospital within view of Fort Washington . He describes building winter quarters , his pay and equipment , preparing for drill and dress parades , and the recruiting efforts of one of his commanders , Captain Creps . The diary entries conclude on December 24 , 1861 with "excitement in camp today as tommorow is Christmas Day. "
