The ledger was published in 1852 as a \"Plantation and Farm Instruction, Regulation, Record, Inventory, and Account Book\" in Richmond, Virginia, by J.W. Randolph, a publisher, bookseller, and stationer. There are two advertisements at the beginning of the ledger. After that is a 17-page \"explanation\" that discusses how to run a plantation and how to keep the ledger properly. This also contains a portion about how to treat enslaved people.","The majority of the book is lined pages with manual entries about farming and other activities starting in 1853 and ending in 1881 for the Big Meadows Plantation with Thomas H. Bernard as manager. Some of the entries were written by his children, including a draft letter to a cousin and information about preaching or attending church. Within the ledger is a receipt of taxes owed to the Sheriff of Franklin County in 1853 by Judith Bernard.","On the first page of the manual entries, page 20, an inventory lists the names, occupations, ages, and \"value\" of of five enslaved people: Terry, [Tom?], [Amistead?], James, and [Banks?] The first three were listed as farm laborers and [Banks?] as a blacksmith. Their ages ranged from 28 to 40 and their \"values\" from $200-$400.","In another entry from 1861 on page 32, Bernard mentions the American Civil War. He wrote, \"The war has started and everyone thinks it won't last a month.\" On the same page is another entry about the war dated 1862, \"I have enlisted in the army of the Confederate States with the VA Volunteers.\" The next page skips to 1871.","The ledger underwent conservation in 2019 and was rebound.

He attended Washington College before graduating with a degree in law from the University of Virginia in 1833. In 1842 he settled in Smyth County, Virginia, where he eventually operated the family salt works, served as a director of Abingdon's branch of the Exchange Bank of Virginia, and represented Smyth County in the Virginia General Assembly. He also served on the governing boards of Emory and Henry College, Mary Washington College and Virginia Military Institute. Commissioned a Confederate Army captain at the outbreak of the American Civil War, he served as assistant adjutant general under General Joseph E. Johnston. When his commission was revoked by the War Department, he declined a new commission as major. Moving to Albemarle County in 1863, Preston served as rector of the University of Virginia from 1864 to 1865. He married twice, first to Elizabeth Breckinridge Watts (ca.1822-1843) and later to Anna Maria Saunders (1825-1911). He died March 20, 1903 in Albemarle County.","The guide to the Thomas L.

The 1850 federal census records 16-year-old Thomas living in the Jefferson County, Ohio home of his parents, together with presumed siblings Elizabeth (20), Catharine (18), James (14), Mary Ann (12), John W. (9), and Harriet A. [Harriet Amanda] (3). On August 18, 1862, Burns enlisted as a private in Company G, 52nd Ohio Infantry. He remained with the regiment through the war before being discharged at the mustering out of his regiment on June 3, 1865. Burns married Anna Bentz (1849-1929), a native of Pennsylvania, ca. 1870; the couple would have eight children. By the time of the 1880 federal census, the Burnses were living in Richmond, Ohio, with children May (9), Elizabeth (7), Herbert (5), Kate (2), and Melissa (6 months). Working as a painter and marble-cutter, Burns moved with his family to Steubenville, Ohio, ca. 1891. The 1900 census lists them among the residents of Steubenville, with the household including Burns children Hattie M. (29), Sarah E. (27), Nellie (20), Florella (16), John F. (11), and Edith V. (7). Thomas Morris Burns died in Steubenville, Ohio, on July 20, 1908, and was buried in Union Cemetery, Steubenville.","The 52nd Ohio Infantry was organized and mustered into service at Camp Dennison, Ohio in August, 1862, under commander Colonel Daniel McCook, Jr. After participating in the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky (October 8, 1862), the regiment marched to Nashville, remaining there until the following March. From March to May, 1863, the regiment remained at nearby Brentwood, then moved to Murfreesboro in June before returning to Nashville the following month. The 52nd participated in the Battle of Chickamauga (September 19-21, 1863) then moved to Lookout Valley before marching to Knoxville. From May to September 1864, the regiment participated in the Atlanta Campaign and in Sherman's March to the Sea in November/December, then in the Campaign of the Carolinas during the spring of 1865.

Most of the letters were written to Burns' father, Thomas Burns, with several others written to his sisters Amanda (Harriet Amanda) and Lib, and one to brother John W. Burns. The letters commence just days after Burns' enlistment at Camp Dennison, Ohio. Burns provides details of the regiment's camp life, food and clothing rations, drilling, and picketing, and foraging, while describing weather conditions and surroundings. He also discusses personal matters, describing his health and relaying news of mutual acquaintances, including battle casualties, captives, discharges, and deserters. He shares and dispels war rumors and requests food, clothing, and other goods from home. Among the military engagements described by Burns are the Battle of Perryville (where he claimed he had seen a woman serving as a major in a cavalry unit)(Oct. 16, 1872), the defense of an ammunition train against Confederate attack near the Battle of Stones River (Jan. 10, 1863); the Battle of Chickamauga (Sept. 28, 1863); skirmishing at Tunnel Hill (May 23, 1864) and Dallas (June 2, 1864), Georgia; Battle of Kennesaw Mountain (July 9, 1864); Battle of Peachtree Creek (July 20 and July 23, 1864).

He also makes frequent mention of commander Daniel McCook; Copperheads; the effect of the draft at home; friends in the 40th Ohio Infantry; and packages of provisions from home. One letter (Feb. 3, 1865) is written on U. S.

He also discusses personal matters, describing his health and relaying news of mutual acquaintances, including battle casualties, captives, discharges, and deserters. He shares and dispels war rumors and requests food, clothing, and other goods from home. Among the military engagements described by Burns are the Battle of Perryville (where he claimed he had seen a woman serving as a major in a cavalry unit)(Oct. 16, 1872), the defense of an ammunition train against Confederate attack near the Battle of Stones River (Jan. 10, 1863); the Battle of Chickamauga (Sept. 28, 1863); skirmishing at Tunnel Hill (May 23, 1864) and Dallas (June 2, 1864), Georgia; Battle of Kennesaw Mountain (July 9, 1864); Battle of Peachtree Creek (July 20 and July 23, 1864). Other notable points of discussion in Burns' letters include the frequency of accidental fires in camp (Feb. 21, 1863); Nashville's Ackland house (Feb. 21 and June 7, 1863); description of a three-cornered fortification (May 14, 1863); the killing of a sutler with the 86th Illinois (May 14, 1863); the reprieve of a deserter slated for execution (June 24, 1863); the celebration of Independence Day in camp (July 11, 1863); the John Hunt Morgan raid (June-Aug. 1863); snakes and scorpions in camp (Sept. 9, 1863); the presence and capture of a woman doctor serving with the brigade (Mar. 17; Apr. 23; and Sept. 16, 1864); trading between the lines (July 9, 1864); a description of Atlanta's devastation and marching prisoners of war through the city (Sept. 6, 1864); the 1864 presidential campaign and election (Sept. 16 and Nov. 11, 1864); the death of John McCarel (Sept. 21, 1864); preparations for the March to the Sea (Nov. 5, 1864); Union prisoners taking a Confederate oath of allegiance (Dec. 16, 1864). He also makes frequent mention of commander Daniel McCook; Copperheads; the effect of the draft at home; friends in the 40th Ohio Infantry; and packages of provisions from home. One letter (Feb. 3, 1865) is written on U. S. Christian Commission stationery; another (Mar. 12, 1865) on Chatham Artillery stationery; several others are written on stationery bearing patriotic illustrations. The collection also contains several empty envelopes and two letter fragments that could not be matched with the letters in the collection.
