2 Diaries 42nd Ohio Infantryman re Vicksburg & Mobile
Pair of diaries from 1863 and 1865 by Harrison S. Sours of the 42nd (Co. B), and 96th (Co. E), Ohio Infantries, with a dizzying amount of battle content, especially in the 1863 diary. Sours acted as Orderly in the 42nd Ohio, with his diaries reflecting a disciplined, no-nonsense soldier reporting on battles, troop movements, picket duty, marches, etc. Sours begins 1863 as he would many days that year, writing on 1 January, “Retreated from the battlefield”, referring to the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, which he covered in the last few days from 1862 as well. In late December 1862 he writes, “run up the Yazoo River for 10 miles and landed the 28 skirmishing the same day attacked the enemy on the 28 heavy fighting on the 29th fighting on the 30th”. From 10-16 January 1863, the Battle of Arkansas Post is documented by Sours, “Landed for battle some firing done…Took the fort, took 8 Reg 600 miles 2 batteries and other musters and a lot of cattle 7 or 8 reg of rebels…Took one regiment of rebels…Pitched tents on battleground…Weather cold and snowing all day. Captured twelve hundred rebels and a lot of mules…burning the rebels property on the battlefield…” Sold for $5,182.
