It is estimated that anywhere between 620,000 to 850,000 soldiers died in America’s Civil War from 1861 to 1865. while the war between North and South is often romanticized or sterilized for the public, the true realities of the war were far more brutal than any of us can fully imagine today.

Jacob C. Miller (August 4, 1840 - January 13, 1917) was a private in company K, 9th Indiana Infantry Regiment, and was wounded in the head near the Brock Field at the Battle of Chickamauga on the morning of September 19, 1863. The ball impacted in Miller's head during the Civil War, but luckily the buck didn't penetrate his skull. This extract is from a contemporary newspaper: «His name is Jacob Miller and since Sept. 19, 1863, he has lived with an open bullet wound in his forehead. For a number of years the bullet remained in his head but piece by piece it fell out till now. It is thought none of it remains in the wound. During the time it was in the head it at times would produce a stupor, which sometimes would last two weeks, it being usually when he caught cold and produced more of a pressure on the brain. At other times delirium would seize him and he would imagine himself again on picket duty and would tramp back and forth on his beat, a stick on his shoulder for a musket, a pitiful object of the sacrifice for freedom. As these pieces of lead gradually loosened and fell out he regained his usual health and is now at the age of 78 years, one of the most, if not the most, remarkable survivor of the Civil war.» #colored #colorized #colourised #colorization #colourisation #color #colour #history #ww1 #wwi #worldwarone #greatwar #thegreatwar #ww2 #wwii #worldwartwo #civilwar

In 1864, 16th Connecticut Private Henry Adams recorded entries in this small pocket diary. (Connecticut Historical Society collection) The battles in which the 16th Connecticut participated are noted in the diary. The regiment played only a small role at Fredericksburg. At Antietam, its first battle of the war, the 16th Connecticut was routed. Like this blog on Facebook By happenstance in early September 2015, I discovered a memorial stone for 16th Connecticut Private Henry H. Adams among gravestones at a small, out-of-the-way cemetery in rural Eastford, Conn. An old, cast-iron Grand Army of the Republic marker and a fresh U.S. flag adorned Adams' marker. "Thy memory will be cherished," read the words at the bottom of the slate-gray memorial. Like thousands of other Civil War dead, Henry's body was not recovered for burial on his native soil. He probably was haphazardly buried with other Union POWs in a trench in Florence (S.C.) National Cemetery. A memorial honors 16th Connecticut Private Henry H. Adams in General Lyon Cemetery in Eastford, Conn. Adams enlisted in the Union army in the summer of 1862, mustering in at Camp Williams in Hartford as a private in Company G on Aug. 24. Less than a month later, on Sept. 17, he was among the 204 casualties in the 16th Connecticut, which was routed at Antietam. (For more on the 16th Connecticut, read Lesley Gordon's excellent book, A Broken Regiment.) Henry recovered from his wound, but was captured with most of the rest of the 16th Connecticut at Plymouth, N.C. on April 20, 1864. "Taken prisoner in the morning," Adams wrote in his diary that day. Like others in his regiment, including this soldier, Henry recorded his experiences as a POW. In short entries in a 4 1/2 x 3 1/2-inch, leather-covered pocket diary, he noted his arrival at the notorious Andersonville prison camp in southwestern Georgia in early May ("15,000 prisoners inside"), deaths among his comrades ("two men died in Co. K") and his own health, which gradually deteriorated while in captivity. In many entries, he also noted the weather. In mid-September 1864, Adams recorded that he was "getting very weak." Nearly two weeks later, he couldn't walk. As Sherman's army marched through Georgia, Confederates transferred Andersonville prisoners to other camps throughout the South. On Oct. 8, Adams was sent to Florence, S.C., where initially he did well. At the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford, I read Henry's diary, which somehow survived the war. Opposite the title page of the journal, someone — probably Henry himself — recorded 16th Connecticut battles. But the most compelling, and haunting, entry in the fragile diary are the 10 words written in someone else's hand on Oct. 20, 1864. Here are selections from Henry Adams' 1864 pocket diary: April 18, 1864: Battle of Plymouth "Fort Wessels captured. Heavy fireing in the morning between fort Gray and Reb batteries. Tuscany & Gunboat Bombshell sank. The Rebs charged on the works but were repulsed. April 19, 1864 "Heavy fireing in the morning. The Rebel ram came down and sank the gunboat Smithfield. Pleasant. April 20, 1864: Captured "Taken prisoner in the morning. Lines out on the Washington Road all night." May 4, 1864: Arrives at Andersonville "Went inside of the stockade. Our company in the 44th Mess, 30th mess Drawed 1 days rations. There is 15,000 prisoners inside. Pleasant." August 16, 1864: Deaths "Drew (?) cooked beans and beef. Cool and pleasant. Had a small shower just at night. Another man died from our company." August 17, 1864 "Had our roll call. Cool and pleasant. Had to help draw rations from our team. Two men died from Co. K." October 13, 1864: Florence, S.C. "We are in a very pleasant place but have no shelter. The women are very kind and bring in some nice things but the sickest get more." October 16, 1864: Florence, S.C. "Another cool and pleasant day. We are getting along very well only we do not get enough to eat." October 19, 1864: Exchange? "Cool and pleasant. We heard a sermon preached in our ward. There is talk of an exchange of the sick but can't tell." October 20, 1864: The end "The writer of the foregoing died at 9 o'clock pm." Hundreds of Union prisoners of war from the Florence, S.C., stockade are buried in trenches at the national cemetery nearby. The body of Henry Adams probably is among them.
