  • Another (post-war) source

    Even though this is a typescript biography, the author apparently heavily copied his diary. I found this today while browsing the web:

    FITTING, MINNIE ADAMS. "THE PAST IS NEVER LOST," [n.d.] 0.1 cu. ft. Mimeographed typescript biography of Richard Henry Adams, Jr. (1841-1896). Adams served in the 5th Alabama Infantry and 51st Alabama Infantry, then later as an engineer under General Wheeler before being captured at Mt. Pleasant Tennessee in 1863. Adams became one of the "Immortal 600" prisoners-of-war held on Morris Island, South Carolina in 1864. He was released from prison in June, 1865. Biography includes lengthy excerpts from Adams' journals. Part of the Civil War Small Manuscripts Collection. Ms2003-014.

    Special Collections is located in Carol M. Newman Library at Virginia Tech. Special Collections includes manuscript collections, rare books, and the University Archives. The collection also contains state, local and historical maps and photographs. The collections include both physical and digital materials.
