S. Naval Commander Horace Elmer (1846-98) that cover the important period of naval expansion from 1864 to 1900.  His family created the collection, which follows his early naval career until his death, as evidenced through the newspaper clippings.","Elmer was an American Navy Commander, born in 1846. Having graduated from the Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1864 (aged 18), he began his naval career on the flagship for the East India Squadron, the U.S.S. Hartford, on which he sailed to the Pacific, via Cape Town (1865-69). He went on to have a successful career, serving on the U.S.S. Terror from 1870-1871; the U.S.S.  Vandalia 1871; the U.S.S. Ossippee 1871-1873; and the U.S.S. Kearsarge 1878-82.  In 1883 he was promoted to the rank of Commander and in 1886 he was awarded the head of the department of seamanship at the United States Naval Academy. His career, as the collection shows, gave him the opportunity to navigate across the world, visiting places such as South Africa, China, Peru, and San Domingo. The height of his career was when he was commissioned to organize and command the Mosquito Fleet in the Spanish - American War, March 1898. Unfortunately, he contracted a cold that turned into pneumonia and died one month later.","His journals reflect his time at the end of his career at the naval academy and important technical notes, but most significantly his time spent at sea. His writing style is casual and, because of the journal-like style, his personality as well as his cultural and geographical background shine through.","One of the photo albums was curated by Horace Elmer's daughter, Edith Elmer Wood, who was a healthcare and housing reformer during the progressive era into the mid twentieth century. Aged twenty-two, she married to Naval Officer Albert Norton Wood and she travelled with him to Puerto Rico around 1906.  There, her interest in healthcare flourished, becoming the head of the Anti-Tuberculosis League. Some of her significant publications include: The Housing of the Unskilled Wage Earner, 1919, Housing Progress in Western Europe, 1923, Recent Trends in American Housing, 1931, Slums and Blighted Areas in the United States, (P.W.A. Housing Division Bulletin), 1935 and Introduction to Housing Facts and Principles, 1939.","Processed by Charlotte Hawkins and Luci Ortiz.","The Horace Elmer Collection covers a short but important period in U.S. naval history from the end of the American Civil War to the beginning of the Spanish-American War at the eve of the twentieth century. Personal journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and loose photographs are from the years 1864 to 1900.","Series I, Commander Horace Elmer, contains journals and materials relating directly to the life and career of Commander Elmer as described below.","1. \"Private\": October 1864-December 1866\nThe first journal, written chronologically but sporadically, illustrates a young Elmer's final years at the Naval Academy until his assignment on the U.S.S. Hartford. Notable entries include him witnessing Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and abolitionist, giving a sermon in Plymouth, 9 May 1865, and his 5 July 1865 entry where he describes the Fourth of July celebrations. Most significantly, this journal also includes his detailed sketching of the U.S.S. Monitor and engines of the U.S.S. Hartford, along with technical notes of how the student understood it. Personal and class notes show the kind of knowledge and naval procedures the academy required of its students.","2. \"The Cruise of the Hartford\": 17 July 1865-24 February 1866\nThe second journal details Elmer's time on the Asiatic mission for the East India Squadron from 17 July 1865 to 24 February 1866. At the back of the journal there is a table showing the periods he spent in each different country that they visited. While this list includes the years up to 1868, Elmer's entries in the diary end in 1866.  Places include Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. As it is a diary, this journal is useful in depicting what life was like on board for Elmer and the kind of things he enjoyed but also the cultural and colonial opinions at the time. In February 1866, for example, he writes of the uncivilized and demoralizing nature of people he encountered in Hong Kong.","3. \"Navigator's Notes Kept Aboard the U.S.S Ossippee\": 1872 \nNow risen to the rank of lieutenant commander and the navigator aboard the U.S.S. Ossippee, this volume contains Elmer's notes on navigation, surveying, and \"memoranda\" recounting the cruise of the U.S.S. Ossippee from Peru to New York. It also includes a section of notes labelled \"miscellaneous,\" which is filled with random factoids, many of which relate to torpedoes or explosions.","4. \"Watch, Quarter, and Station Bill\" on the U.S.S Ossippee and U.S.S Colorado\nThis book includes neat and detailed notes that Elmer, as Navigator, presumably had on board in both vessels to help handle different situations. These include roll calls, sea routines, forecasts, losing a sail, and navigation. It also includes a Miscellaneous section.","5. Scrapbook: 1878-1879.\nContains clippings from many different periodicals relating to naval procedures and maritime subjects. These depict the mechanical and technical changes of the navy during these years, but also its growth. Some articles from the U.S Army and Navy Journal from these years are included.","6. Obituary Scrapbook: 1898-1900.\nPresumably put together by Elmer's wife or daughter, this scrapbook contains periodical clippings pertaining to his last assignment on the Mosquito fleet, 1898. It also includes loose telegrams of condolence sent to her and her application to increase her pension. It is primarily composed of obituaries, each neatly labelled and organized by newspaper and date. Elmer caught pneumonia which was brought on by exposure while he was on duty. Each clipping pertains to the death of a great naval officer, and in some cases, the first loss of the Spanish-American War. (Evening Journal) Strong patriotic language is used, as well as great sadness of the passing of the \"courageous\" and \"best known naval officers\" is illustrated.","7. Collection of Nine Loose Photographs (mounted on card) 1870- 1891.\nCollection of photographs spanning twenty years, divided into Elmer's time in Santo Domingo and Edith's personal photos. The shots from Santo Domingo include a group shot of Commander Elmer with several other important men, including the President of Santo Domingo. Edith's photographs are primarily personal and family portraits, including a picture of Adele Wiley as a young woman, Edith Elmer Wood as a baby, and then another later shot of her as a young woman.","Series II, Edith Elmer Wood Scrapbook, contains a single album containing photographs from her daily life, including trips she made with her husband.","1. Photo Album Belonging to Edith Elmer Wood: 1890-1896.\nEdith Elmer Wood's photograph album contains two large photos of the U.S.S. Kearsarge, one being of the officers and another of the crew being inspected, both dated 1890; several snapshots of interiors of family residences, including one of her mother in a rocking chair, and a photo of Commander Elmer working at his desk in the Ordnance Office; ten photos, five quite large, of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893; and ten large photographs taken on the campus of the United States Naval Academy, two of them featuring Mrs. Wood and her husband. Other scenes from the Naval Academy include cadets being drilled and the Tripoli Monument.","Copyright restrictions may apply. Unpublished manuscripts are protected by copyright.

Naval Commander Horace Elmer (1846-98). He was an important naval figure who sailed on the USS Hartford's Asiatic mission, but significantly, the Monitor.

S. Naval Commander Horace Elmer (1846-98) that cover the important period of naval expansion from 1864 to 1900.  His family created the collection, which follows his early naval career until his death, as evidenced through the newspaper clippings.","Elmer was an American Navy Commander, born in 1846. Having graduated from the Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1864 (aged 18), he began his naval career on the flagship for the East India Squadron, the U.S.S. Hartford, on which he sailed to the Pacific, via Cape Town (1865-69). He went on to have a successful career, serving on the U.S.S. Terror from 1870-1871; the U.S.S.  Vandalia 1871; the U.S.S. Ossippee 1871-1873; and the U.S.S. Kearsarge 1878-82.  In 1883 he was promoted to the rank of Commander and in 1886 he was awarded the head of the department of seamanship at the United States Naval Academy. His career, as the collection shows, gave him the opportunity to navigate across the world, visiting places such as South Africa, China, Peru, and San Domingo. The height of his career was when he was commissioned to organize and command the Mosquito Fleet in the Spanish - American War, March 1898. Unfortunately, he contracted a cold that turned into pneumonia and died one month later.","His journals reflect his time at the end of his career at the naval academy and important technical notes, but most significantly his time spent at sea. His writing style is casual and, because of the journal-like style, his personality as well as his cultural and geographical background shine through.","One of the photo albums was curated by Horace Elmer's daughter, Edith Elmer Wood, who was a healthcare and housing reformer during the progressive era into the mid twentieth century. Aged twenty-two, she married to Naval Officer Albert Norton Wood and she travelled with him to Puerto Rico around 1906.  There, her interest in healthcare flourished, becoming the head of the Anti-Tuberculosis League. Some of her significant publications include: The Housing of the Unskilled Wage Earner, 1919, Housing Progress in Western Europe, 1923, Recent Trends in American Housing, 1931, Slums and Blighted Areas in the United States, (P.W.A. Housing Division Bulletin), 1935 and Introduction to Housing Facts and Principles, 1939.","Processed by Charlotte Hawkins and Luci Ortiz.","The Horace Elmer Collection covers a short but important period in U.S. naval history from the end of the American Civil War to the beginning of the Spanish-American War at the eve of the twentieth century. Personal journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and loose photographs are from the years 1864 to 1900.","Series I, Commander Horace Elmer, contains journals and materials relating directly to the life and career of Commander Elmer as described below.","1. \"Private\": October 1864-December 1866\nThe first journal, written chronologically but sporadically, illustrates a young Elmer's final years at the Naval Academy until his assignment on the U.S.S. Hartford. Notable entries include him witnessing Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and abolitionist, giving a sermon in Plymouth, 9 May 1865, and his 5 July 1865 entry where he describes the Fourth of July celebrations. Most significantly, this journal also includes his detailed sketching of the U.S.S. Monitor and engines of the U.S.S. Hartford, along with technical notes of how the student understood it. Personal and class notes show the kind of knowledge and naval procedures the academy required of its students.","2. \"The Cruise of the Hartford\": 17 July 1865-24 February 1866\nThe second journal details Elmer's time on the Asiatic mission for the East India Squadron from 17 July 1865 to 24 February 1866. At the back of the journal there is a table showing the periods he spent in each different country that they visited. While this list includes the years up to 1868, Elmer's entries in the diary end in 1866.  Places include Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. As it is a diary, this journal is useful in depicting what life was like on board for Elmer and the kind of things he enjoyed but also the cultural and colonial opinions at the time. In February 1866, for example, he writes of the uncivilized and demoralizing nature of people he encountered in Hong Kong.","3. \"Navigator's Notes Kept Aboard the U.S.S Ossippee\": 1872 \nNow risen to the rank of lieutenant commander and the navigator aboard the U.S.S. Ossippee, this volume contains Elmer's notes on navigation, surveying, and \"memoranda\" recounting the cruise of the U.S.S. Ossippee from Peru to New York. It also includes a section of notes labelled \"miscellaneous,\" which is filled with random factoids, many of which relate to torpedoes or explosions.","4. \"Watch, Quarter, and Station Bill\" on the U.S.S Ossippee and U.S.S Colorado\nThis book includes neat and detailed notes that Elmer, as Navigator, presumably had on board in both vessels to help handle different situations. These include roll calls, sea routines, forecasts, losing a sail, and navigation. It also includes a Miscellaneous section.","5. Scrapbook: 1878-1879.\nContains clippings from many different periodicals relating to naval procedures and maritime subjects. These depict the mechanical and technical changes of the navy during these years, but also its growth. Some articles from the U.S Army and Navy Journal from these years are included.","6. Obituary Scrapbook: 1898-1900.\nPresumably put together by Elmer's wife or daughter, this scrapbook contains periodical clippings pertaining to his last assignment on the Mosquito fleet, 1898. It also includes loose telegrams of condolence sent to her and her application to increase her pension. It is primarily composed of obituaries, each neatly labelled and organized by newspaper and date. Elmer caught pneumonia which was brought on by exposure while he was on duty. Each clipping pertains to the death of a great naval officer, and in some cases, the first loss of the Spanish-American War. (Evening Journal) Strong patriotic language is used, as well as great sadness of the passing of the \"courageous\" and \"best known naval officers\" is illustrated.","7. Collection of Nine Loose Photographs (mounted on card) 1870- 1891.\nCollection of photographs spanning twenty years, divided into Elmer's time in Santo Domingo and Edith's personal photos. The shots from Santo Domingo include a group shot of Commander Elmer with several other important men, including the President of Santo Domingo. Edith's photographs are primarily personal and family portraits, including a picture of Adele Wiley as a young woman, Edith Elmer Wood as a baby, and then another later shot of her as a young woman.","Series II, Edith Elmer Wood Scrapbook, contains a single album containing photographs from her daily life, including trips she made with her husband.","1. Photo Album Belonging to Edith Elmer Wood: 1890-1896.\nEdith Elmer Wood's photograph album contains two large photos of the U.S.S. Kearsarge, one being of the officers and another of the crew being inspected, both dated 1890; several snapshots of interiors of family residences, including one of her mother in a rocking chair, and a photo of Commander Elmer working at his desk in the Ordnance Office; ten photos, five quite large, of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893; and ten large photographs taken on the campus of the United States Naval Academy, two of them featuring Mrs. Wood and her husband. Other scenes from the Naval Academy include cadets being drilled and the Tripoli Monument.","Copyright restrictions may apply. Unpublished manuscripts are protected by copyright.  Permission to publish, quote, or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder.","This collection includes journals, scrapbooks, and photographs belonging to U. S. Naval Commander Horace Elmer (1846-98). He was an important naval figure who sailed on the USS Hartford's Asiatic mission, but significantly, the Monitor. This collection illustrates, through personal documentation, the experience of life at sea but also Elmer's immense skill and expertise in the US Navy in both mechanical and practical aspects. Information concerning his daughter, Edith Elmer Wood, a prominent progressive housing reformer, is also contained in the collection.","University of Richmond","Kearsarge (Battleship)","United States.

Personal journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, and loose photographs are from the years 1864 to 1900.","Series I, Commander Horace Elmer, contains journals and materials relating directly to the life and career of Commander Elmer as described below.","1. \"Private\": October 1864-December 1866\nThe first journal, written chronologically but sporadically, illustrates a young Elmer's final years at the Naval Academy until his assignment on the U.S.S. Hartford. Notable entries include him witnessing Henry Ward Beecher, a prominent preacher and abolitionist, giving a sermon in Plymouth, 9 May 1865, and his 5 July 1865 entry where he describes the Fourth of July celebrations. Most significantly, this journal also includes his detailed sketching of the U.S.S. Monitor and engines of the U.S.S. Hartford, along with technical notes of how the student understood it. Personal and class notes show the kind of knowledge and naval procedures the academy required of its students.","2. \"The Cruise of the Hartford\": 17 July 1865-24 February 1866\nThe second journal details Elmer's time on the Asiatic mission for the East India Squadron from 17 July 1865 to 24 February 1866. At the back of the journal there is a table showing the periods he spent in each different country that they visited. While this list includes the years up to 1868, Elmer's entries in the diary end in 1866.  Places include Brazil, Africa, China and Japan. As it is a diary, this journal is useful in depicting what life was like on board for Elmer and the kind of things he enjoyed but also the cultural and colonial opinions at the time. In February 1866, for example, he writes of the uncivilized and demoralizing nature of people he encountered in Hong Kong.","3. \"Navigator's Notes Kept Aboard the U.S.S Ossippee\": 1872 \nNow risen to the rank of lieutenant commander and the navigator aboard the U.S.S. Ossippee, this volume contains Elmer's notes on navigation, surveying, and \"memoranda\" recounting the cruise of the U.S.S. Ossippee from Peru to New York. It also includes a section of notes labelled \"miscellaneous,\" which is filled with random factoids, many of which relate to torpedoes or explosions.","4. \"Watch, Quarter, and Station Bill\" on the U.S.S Ossippee and U.S.S Colorado\nThis book includes neat and detailed notes that Elmer, as Navigator, presumably had on board in both vessels to help handle different situations. These include roll calls, sea routines, forecasts, losing a sail, and navigation. It also includes a Miscellaneous section.","5. Scrapbook: 1878-1879.\nContains clippings from many different periodicals relating to naval procedures and maritime subjects. These depict the mechanical and technical changes of the navy during these years, but also its growth. Some articles from the U.S Army and Navy Journal from these years are included.","6. Obituary Scrapbook: 1898-1900.\nPresumably put together by Elmer's wife or daughter, this scrapbook contains periodical clippings pertaining to his last assignment on the Mosquito fleet, 1898. It also includes loose telegrams of condolence sent to her and her application to increase her pension. It is primarily composed of obituaries, each neatly labelled and organized by newspaper and date. Elmer caught pneumonia which was brought on by exposure while he was on duty. Each clipping pertains to the death of a great naval officer, and in some cases, the first loss of the Spanish-American War. (Evening Journal) Strong patriotic language is used, as well as great sadness of the passing of the \"courageous\" and \"best known naval officers\" is illustrated.","7. Collection of Nine Loose Photographs (mounted on card) 1870- 1891.\nCollection of photographs spanning twenty years, divided into Elmer's time in Santo Domingo and Edith's personal photos. The shots from Santo Domingo include a group shot of Commander Elmer with several other important men, including the President of Santo Domingo. Edith's photographs are primarily personal and family portraits, including a picture of Adele Wiley as a young woman, Edith Elmer Wood as a baby, and then another later shot of her as a young woman.","Series II, Edith Elmer Wood Scrapbook, contains a single album containing photographs from her daily life, including trips she made with her husband.","1. Photo Album Belonging to Edith Elmer Wood: 1890-1896.\nEdith Elmer Wood's photograph album contains two large photos of the U.S.S. Kearsarge, one being of the officers and another of the crew being inspected, both dated 1890; several snapshots of interiors of family residences, including one of her mother in a rocking chair, and a photo of Commander Elmer working at his desk in the Ordnance Office; ten photos, five quite large, of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893; and ten large photographs taken on the campus of the United States Naval Academy, two of them featuring Mrs. Wood and her husband.

Toward a Social History of the American Civil War: Exploratory Essays. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.","In his history of Iowan troops in the Civil War, Ingersoll (1867) provides a detailed summary of Henry S. Kinsey's regiment, the 7th Iowa Veteran's Volunteer Infantry which fought for the Union. Most men were mustered into the infantry in Burlington, Iowa, during the summer of 1861. Until 1863, the infantry fought in the western states of Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas, mainly under the command of Union Major General Ulysses S. Grant. The infantry participated in the battles of Belmont, Donelson, Shiloh, and Corinth, among others (129-141). According to Ingersoll, the Iowa 7th is most well-known for its \"heroic\" efforts in the Battle of Belmont, Missouri, where it sustained numerous casualties (133-134). By January 1864, most men in the infantry had served their two years, and those who decided to re-enlist were given a \"furlough\" of one month (142). On February 27, the infantry met up in Keokuk, Iowa, and joined Major General Sherman in his Atlanta Campaign (143-145). The infantry engaged in intense fighting at the Battle of Resaca, Georgia, and Lt. Kinsey's diary indicates they moved from Resaca to the Battles of Dallas, Acworth, Kennesaw Mountain, and Decatur. However, they were in Rome, Georgia, during the Battles of Atlanta and Jonesboro (144) during which Sherman defeated Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, bringing the Atlanta Campaign to an end. After they cast their votes in the 1864 presidential election, the infantry made their way back to Atlanta to join Sherman's troops in his Savannah Campaign during which they encountered few casualties (145). In January 1865, they marched north through the swamps of the Carolinas—a feat for which the infantry's Lieutenant Colonel J. C. Parrot praised his infantry (145). As the campaign came to an end and the Union defeated the Confederacy, the infantry continued northward and participated in the victory parade in Washington, D.C. From there, they returned to Iowa and were mustered out of service (145).","The Iowa Adjutant General's Office (1908) provides a biographical note (see Figure 1) on Lt. Henry S. Kinsey.  Born May 27, 1836, Kinsey was living in Richland, Iowa, at the start of the war.  He enlisted in the Union Army on July 15, 1861, at the age of twenty-five, and was mustered into Company 'H' of the 7th Iowa Veteran's Volunteer Infantry on July 24, 1861. On November 7, Lt. Kinsey was \"wounded severely in the thigh\" in the Battle of Belmont, Missouri. Later, he was promoted to Third Sergeant, then to First Sergeant, and eventually to First Lieutenant on September 19, 1864, after re-enlisting. Once the war ended, he was mustered out of service along with the rest of his company on July 12, 1865 in Louisville, Kentucky (988).   Kinsey died on April 18, 1886.","Processed by David L. Davenport \u0026 Kim Moore.","Documenting the history of Company H of the 7th Iowa Volunteer Infantry from early 1864 until the company's mustering-out on July 12, 1865, Lt. Kinsey's personal and official papers will be useful for civil war historians focusing on Sherman's Atlanta Campaign as well as events through the end of the war.","The collection begins with the personal effects of Lt. Kinsey, including a photograph (File 1) and diary (File 2), the latter of which has been transcribed and stored on a CD (File 3). The diary contains daily entries from January 5, 1864, to November 25, 1864. Beginning with his furlough in January and continuing up until just after the Battle of Atlanta, Lt. Kinsey's diary offers a personal account of Sherman's Atlanta campaign as well as insight into the daily physical and emotional struggles of soldiers on leave and in the battlefield.","The remaining files contain the records kept by Kinsey from his promotion to First Lieutenant in September 1864 until he was mustered out of service in July 1865. Files 4 and 5 contain the official and special orders Lt. Kinsey received. Official orders (File 4) refers to those addressed to the army in general and normally dictated how records were to be kept; special orders (File 5) refers to those addressed specifically to Lt. Kinsey or someone else regarding the affairs and actions of the Company. Within each file, documents are arranged chronologically by the date when the order was issued.","Files 6 through 13 contain the records Lt. Kinsey kept for Company H. Following the divisions indicated by Kinsey in his diary and on envelopes, these records are divided between records for \"clothing, camp and garrison equipage\" (C.C. \u0026 G.E.) (e.g. clothing, knapsacks, tents, books, etc) and for \"ordnance and ordnance stores\" (i.e. artillery and ammunition) and grouped chronologically by the quarter. These records include receipts, ledgers, and quarterly reports. Almost all receipts have a \"voucher\" or \"roll\" number which corresponds to its entry in the monthly and/or quarterly report, and according to these cumulative reports, it appears his records are mostly complete. Within each quarterly file, documents are arranged chronologically according to the date when the event or transaction occurred (as opposed to when the receipt was written). Documents noting multiple events are filed by the most recent date. Similarly, documents with general and inclusive dates, such as monthly or quarterly reports, are filed at the end of the month or the end of the quarter. Documents written after the end of a quarter and referring to that quarter, namely acknowledgements from Washington that the reports from that quarter have been accepted, are filed next and followed by undated items and envelopes.","Files 14 through 18 contain Kinsey's records related to casualties and hostages. File 14 contains a summary of C.C. \u0026 G.E. lost through casualties from August 1864 to January 1865 in addition to a summary of the Company's casualties from the start of the war in 1861 up to February 28, 1865. Files 15 through 18 contain documents referring to casualties and hostage situations of particular individuals. Most documents record the loss of C.C. \u0026 G.E. or ordnance and are referenced in monthly and/or quarterly reports stored in Files 6 through 13. Files 15 through 18 are arranged alphabetically by last name and dated according to the individual's date of death; the documents within are ordered chronologically.","File 19 contains the muster-out rolls drafted by Lt. Kinsey in 1865 at the end of the war. These rolls contain details on the service of each member of the company, including those recruited, deceased, discharged, and transferred. The first copy (34\" by 23½\") is written in pencil and seems to be a draft of the final copy that Lt. Kinsey sent to Washington. The second copy is written in ink and split at some point into two pieces (each measuring 24\" by 43\"). The pencil copy is more complete.","File 20 contains documents related to a college fund donated to Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa by Company H of the 7th Iowa Infantry on June 20, 1865, for the \"free education [of] all disabled soldiers and the orphaned children of deceased soldiers.\"","Finally, File 21 contains several envelopes.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

Kinsey's regiment, the 7th Iowa Veteran's Volunteer Infantry which fought for the Union. Most men were mustered into the infantry in Burlington, Iowa, during the summer of 1861. Until 1863, the infantry fought in the western states of Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas, mainly under the command of Union Major General Ulysses S. Grant. The infantry participated in the battles of Belmont, Donelson, Shiloh, and Corinth, among others (129-141). According to Ingersoll, the Iowa 7th is most well-known for its \"heroic\" efforts in the Battle of Belmont, Missouri, where it sustained numerous casualties (133-134). By January 1864, most men in the infantry had served their two years, and those who decided to re-enlist were given a \"furlough\" of one month (142). On February 27, the infantry met up in Keokuk, Iowa, and joined Major General Sherman in his Atlanta Campaign (143-145). The infantry engaged in intense fighting at the Battle of Resaca, Georgia, and Lt. Kinsey's diary indicates they moved from Resaca to the Battles of Dallas, Acworth, Kennesaw Mountain, and Decatur. However, they were in Rome, Georgia, during the Battles of Atlanta and Jonesboro (144) during which Sherman defeated Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, bringing the Atlanta Campaign to an end. After they cast their votes in the 1864 presidential election, the infantry made their way back to Atlanta to join Sherman's troops in his Savannah Campaign during which they encountered few casualties (145). In January 1865, they marched north through the swamps of the Carolinas—a feat for which the infantry's Lieutenant Colonel J. C. Parrot praised his infantry (145).

Kinsey's regiment, the 7th Iowa Veteran's Volunteer Infantry which fought for the Union. Most men were mustered into the infantry in Burlington, Iowa, during the summer of 1861. Until 1863, the infantry fought in the western states of Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas, mainly under the command of Union Major General Ulysses S. Grant. The infantry participated in the battles of Belmont, Donelson, Shiloh, and Corinth, among others (129-141). According to Ingersoll, the Iowa 7th is most well-known for its \"heroic\" efforts in the Battle of Belmont, Missouri, where it sustained numerous casualties (133-134). By January 1864, most men in the infantry had served their two years, and those who decided to re-enlist were given a \"furlough\" of one month (142). On February 27, the infantry met up in Keokuk, Iowa, and joined Major General Sherman in his Atlanta Campaign (143-145). The infantry engaged in intense fighting at the Battle of Resaca, Georgia, and Lt. Kinsey's diary indicates they moved from Resaca to the Battles of Dallas, Acworth, Kennesaw Mountain, and Decatur. However, they were in Rome, Georgia, during the Battles of Atlanta and Jonesboro (144) during which Sherman defeated Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston, bringing the Atlanta Campaign to an end. After they cast their votes in the 1864 presidential election, the infantry made their way back to Atlanta to join Sherman's troops in his Savannah Campaign during which they encountered few casualties (145). In January 1865, they marched north through the swamps of the Carolinas—a feat for which the infantry's Lieutenant Colonel J. C. Parrot praised his infantry (145). As the campaign came to an end and the Union defeated the Confederacy, the infantry continued northward and participated in the victory parade in Washington, D.C.

He enlisted in the Union Army on July 15, 1861, at the age of twenty-five, and was mustered into Company 'H' of the 7th Iowa Veteran's Volunteer Infantry on July 24, 1861. On November 7, Lt.
