DIARY OF JACOB ADAMS, PRIVATE IN COM-

DIARY OF JACOB ADAMS, PRIVATE IN COM-

PANY F, 21st O. V. V. I.

 

FOREWORD

This diary presented is from the pen of Jacob Adams, a pri-

vate in Co. F, 21st O. V. V. I., and covers the period of his service

in the American Civil War of 1861-1865. The account was com-

piled in 1924 from letters written home and from a diary kept

day by day during most of the time of service. The intention

of the author was to preserve for his children an account of his

services.

Knowing the value placed on such accounts by historians and

wishing to preserve the story of the glorious and honorable record

of my father's regiment as written by his friend and comrade in

arms, I have caused this copy to be made and herewith presented.

H. M. POVENMIRE.

Ada, Ohio,

October 18, 1927.
