John Orr Papers
The John Orr papers consist primarily of material relating to Orr's Civil War military service. Seven diaries span the years from 1860 to 1865. The first two recount Orr's arrival in Jackson Co., Missouri, his search for and acquisition of a teaching job, the brewing of secessionist sentiments in Missouri, and Orr's decision to return to Addison in May of 1861. The remaining diaries cover Orr's departure from home, marches, skirmishes and battles, difficulties finding good water, and other elements of his daily life as a soldier, as well as part of his march home. He describes his feelings of anxiety as he approaches the enemy for the first time, and the participation of his regiment in the battles of Gettysburg, Antietam, and Chancellorsville.
