Here are some Iowa Civil War diaries we have sold in the past:

Civil War Diaries, 4th Iowa Cavalry

Set of three diaries by 4th Iowa Cavalry Sergeant Benjamin Harrington, whose dry and humorous personality infuses the pages throughout. Diaries cover the periods of August 1862 to the end of 1863, and then from March 1865 through the end of 1865, with near-constant battle content from both the Vicksburg Campaign and Wilson’s Raid, where the regiment acted as both advance and rear guard for the whole army, and at times the only cavalry regiment. Interspersed with battle content are enjoyable observations during the war, such as a soldier finding a rebel hiding underneath his bed. Sold for $7,000.
