Civil War Regimental newspapers are rare in any form or condition. Our Camp Journal is a fine example of the genre, a full-size multi-sheet paper typeset on a press with woodcut vignettes. No. 1 was published from a "Camp near Alexandria, Va."; No. 3 was published from "Ft. Richmond, Staten Island, N.Y."; No. 5 was published in the winter quarters with the "Army of the Potomac, Va.," and No. 6 was published from "Headquarters, First Division, 2nd Army Corps, Va."
Content includes recent war news including events in the western theater, regimental sketches from other units in the brigade and division, news from the home front and obituaries.
[With:] Evening Whig, 4 April 1865. [Richmond]: William Ira Smith, 1865. "Publication being resumed this afternoon with the consent of military authorities." All of the above were preserved by Corporal B. F. Batcheler, Company E.
Property from the Collection of Dr. Brant Mittler
