L. P. Mitchell Paper, MSS.1665
No full textAbstract: This collection consists of a handwritten memoir written by L. P. Mitchell, describing his life, both growing up in Indiana and in the Army, which was read to the George W. Lennard post of the Grand Army of the Republic, New Castle, Indiana, on June 14, 1895. Mitchell may have served in the 139th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, whose service consisted of nothing more strenuous than guarding railroads in Tennessee and Alabama during the war's latter months.Scope and Content Note: This collection consists of a handwritten memoir titled "Retrospective of the War, of Mitchell's Civil War experiences, both growing up in Indiana and in the Army," which was read to the George W. Lennard post of the Grand Army of the Republic, New Castle, Indiana, on June 14, 1895. Mitchell never mentions his regimental number, but, judging by the date he states that it was mustered into the service--June 8, 1864--it was perhaps the 139th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, whose service consisted of nothing more strenuous than guarding railroads in Tennessee and Alabama during the war's latter months. This fact is reflected in Mitchell's reminiscences, which contain no reference to war service other than the adventure of traveling from Indianapolis to Nashville.Biographical/Historical Note: Civil War soldier from New Castle, Indiana
