J. O. Humphreys Civil War Diary, 1864. Transcription

An unknown Union officer discovered the Order Book for the VMI Corps of Cadets, (containing administrative details of cadet life from January 17, 1862-May 7, 1864) and it eventually came into the possession of Private J. O. Humphreys of the 1st Ohio Artillery. He used the empty pages in the back of the volume to record this account of his unit's activities from late April through early July, 1864
