This Union soldier’s diary recounts his journey from enlistment to postwar life, with extensive historical and biographical context provided by the editor.

When war broke out between the states, William J. McLean left his home in Fairfield, NY, and joined the 34th New York Infantry. He kept a diary that tells of his many wanderings and adventures, from his time in Washington, D.C. to picket duty along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. William also describes the first death of a soldier in his regiment, the excitement over Bull Run, and an incursion into rebel-infested Virginia.

Offering much more than a simple diary transcription, editor Dennis D. Urban sheds light on the actions of the 34th at Edward’s Ferry during the Battle of Balls Bluff; McLean’s effort to correct his military and pension records; and the post-war years of William, his brother, and his father, all of whom served the Union cause. Extensive chapter notes also provide biographical information about the regimental friends and other individuals William mentions in his entries.
