The Life of John Wilson, D.D. F. R. S
Excerpt from The Life of John Wilson, D.D. F. R. S: For Fifty Years Philanthropist and Scholar in the East From 1864, when I first visited Bombay, to his death at the close of 1875, I learned to know the man as well as his work. But he cannot be so well reproduced on the cold page, for his own writings do not reflect the charm of his talk, which delighted generations of friends, from Sir John Malcolm to Lord Mayo and Lord Northbrook, Sir Bartle Frere and Mr. Grant Duff.

Chickamauga, Andersonville, Fort Sumter and Guard Duty at Home
The best way to bring an event from the past into vivid life is to see it through the eyes of someone who lived it. In this book the reader sees the Civil War through the eyes of four Union soldiers who, although they were all from south central Pennsylvania, experienced the war in radically different ways. The journals of the four--Lt. William Glison of the 6th Ohio Infantry, Sergeant Will Duncan of the 2nd Pennsylvania Militia Battalion, John M. Kelly of the 39th Illinois Volunteer Infantry and Private George Schmittle of the 13th Pennsylvania Calvary--give the reader a glimpse into the daily life of the soldier. Written primarily during 1863 and 1864, entries are in each soldier's own words (including idiosyncrasies of grammar and spelling). Commentary is added when necessary to elaborate or clarify as well as to fix each experience on the canvas of the war as a whole. A capsule history and muster roll are included for each company along with an appendix listing all the corps of the Federal army and giving a brief history of each corps' service.
John Wilson Papers
Correspondence and documents relating to Wilson's activities as U.S. Indian Agent, Naval Agent and lawyer. Mainly concerning land claims and Whig politics. Diary of visit to silver mines in Chihuahua, 1864, and some miscellaneous papers of Wakeman and Cooper families also included.

Each indexed volume contains unit histories and the names and service records of approximately 7,000 North Carolinians who served in the Civil War.
