His occupation was farming and raising cattle, before and after the war. Cather's style of writing and his vocabulary indicates he probably had received an education beyond the basic public school curriculum of the times. He followed his family into the political fray of the early 1860s against secession with a determination to save the Union, and to separate from Virginia to create the state of West Virginia. Thomas Cather, F.A.'s father, was elected a state senator in 1861, representing the counties of Taylor, Monongalia, and Preston in the Restored Government of Virginia.","Political activity spilled into military action when F.A. Cather volunteered for the Grafton Guards Militia in the spring of 1861 to protect his home from the \"arms of secessionists.\" He served with the rank of First Lieutenant of Company B as his unit was sworn into the US Army in May, 1861. After his involvement in early battles and skirmishes in western Virginia, Cather's health failed and he was forced to resign from the US Army for two years. He still remained active in local politics and the militia, dealing with Rebel cavalry and guerrilla raids. Cather reenlisted in the US Army in February 1864 and was assigned to the First West Virginia Cavalry, Company K, returning to the rank of First Lieutenant. He was soon in charge of the company and later promoted to captain. Cather and his command were engaged in the last major eastern campaigns of the war, including the Shenandoah Valley, the breaking of the siege lines at Petersburg, and the pursuit of Lee's Army to Appomattox.","F.A. Cather received an honorable discharge as a Major in July, 1865. He married Helen V. Mallonee in August 1865 and had four children. Fabricius Augustus Cather died of illness in October, 1876.","This collection contains seven volumes, six of which are the original diaries authored by Fabricius A. Cather, documenting the years 1860-1865; the seventh is a manuscript copy of the original 1864 and 1865 diaries (which are in the collection) that were transcribed by Thomas H. Cather, his son, in 1904. There is a minor discrepancy between the original diary and the transcript involving the entries of March 8, 9, and 10, 1865. Although the original contains entries for each of these days, the transcript does not. All references to Helen V. Mallonee, his future wife, are in code or \"cipher\" in the original diaries of 1864 and 1865, perhaps due to the Confederate sympathies of her family. These coded passages are deciphered in the transcript. They were married in August, 1865.","Statistics regarding casualties, and captured arms, livestock, and military property are recorded for most of the battles. Narratives of events regarding the surrender at Appomattox and the Grand Army of the Republic passing in review in Washington D.C. close the series. Other subjects and events prominent in the diaries are: elections, secession, treason, illness and disease, family, friends, the Cather's farm, travel, church and social events, scouting, guerrillas, retaliation, and the stealing, burning, and destruction of property; locations include: Grafton, Bridgeport, Wheeling, Corricks Ford, Cheat Mountain, Martinsburg, Winchester, Cedar Creek, Front Royal, New Market, Lexington, Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Richmond, Five Forks and Saylor's Creek, among others.","Although most diary entries are one or two sentences in length, some entries in 1864 and 1865 are longer, perhaps due to Cather's full involvement in combat.","Index to Volume 1:","1860/1/1-18; Listing of names and addresses","1860/2/18; Cure for warts - \"The bark of a willow tree burnt to ashes and mixed with strong vinegar and applied warts\"","1860/4/6; F.A.C. attended the wake of Mrs. Elizabeth Hustead, \"consort of James Hustead\"","1860/4/7; F.A.C. attended \"the burying of Mrs. Hustead\"","1860/4/23-26; F.A.C. traveled to Smithfield, Pennsylvania to move his brother and his family","1860/4/28; F.A.C. went to Bridgeport with his father and friends for the Regimental Muster","1860/7/30; Cather worked on court ordered plats with his cousin Lydia","1860/8/1-2; Continued to work on plats and visit friends","1860/8/3; Went to Pruntytown and \"brought out the brass instruments for the Flemington Band\"","1860/8/7; Left for Annapolis, Maryland","1860/8/8; Cather reached Annapolis at 11:00 AM and took passage on the Great Eastern Steamship, \"a magnificent ship\" which carried 10,000 people to Baltimore","1860/8/9; Toured Baltimore including the Washington Monument and left for home","1860/8/10; Arrived in Grafton, and walked to Pruntytown where court was still in session","1860/8/11; F.A.C. went with his father to buy cattle and was not with the Band \"as usual\"","1860/8/12; Church and dinner with friends","1860/8/15-18; Harvested and stacked hay","1860/8/20; F.A.C. left home for the \"Great West\" by train","1860/8/22; Arrived in Sullivan and then Mattoon, Illinois and stayed with friends","1860/8/23; Attended a [Stephen] Douglas Mass Meeting regarding the pending presidential election, F.A.C. witnessed a fireworks display, confusion and some fights","1860/8/24-29; F.A.C. continued to visit friends and argue politics in Sullivan","1860/8/30; Saw many \"Va.

Cather from Flemington, Taylor County, West Virginia, records his experiences in the military and political conflicts of the Civil War. The six diaries, and a transcribed copy of the original 1864 and 1865 diaries, contain entries for the years 1860 to 1865 regarding western Virginia's grassroots efforts to secede from the Confederacy and establish a new state, and of the first battles and skirmishes such as Rich Mountain and Corricks Ford. He describes campaigns involving his regiment, the First West Virginia Cavalry, including the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign under Sigel, Hunter, Sheridan, and Custer against Breckenridge, Early, and Mosby's Rangers; the last battles of Petersburg as Grant broke the Rebel lines; and the continuous fighting during Lee's retreat. Although most diary entries are one or two sentences in length, some entries in 1864 and 1865 are longer, perhaps due to his full involvement in combat. The collection also contains 18 items stored in pockets inside the covers of the diaries, including headquarters passes, business cards, and a complimentary pass for Lt. Cather to attend the June, 1861 \"NorthWestern Virginia Convention\" in Wheeling. An Addendum includes two scans of photos of Cather, two scans of Civil War military service papers, photocopies of an 1873 Kansas Land Grant, and genealogy material documenting the Cather family.","West Virginia and Regional History Center / West Virginia University / 1549 University Avenue / P.O.

Although the original contains entries for each of these days, the transcript does not. All references to Helen V. Mallonee, his future wife, are in code or \"cipher\" in the original diaries of 1864 and 1865, perhaps due to the Confederate sympathies of her family.

Although the original contains entries for each of these days, the transcript does not. All references to Helen V. Mallonee, his future wife, are in code or \"cipher\" in the original diaries of 1864 and 1865, perhaps due to the Confederate sympathies of her family. These coded passages are deciphered in the transcript. They were married in August, 1865.","Statistics regarding casualties, and captured arms, livestock, and military property are recorded for most of the battles. Narratives of events regarding the surrender at Appomattox and the Grand Army of the Republic passing in review in Washington D.C. close the series.

Davis (Democratic Presidential candidate of 1924) and author Julia Davis. Davis began studying art at Princeton University, where he would later return to teach. He continued his education first at the National Academy of Design in New York City and later in Paris, France. Davis had a prolific and varied artistic career as a painter, photographer, and film-maker. He was particularly fascinated with motion, which led him to evolve a style featuring motion pictures of abstract patterns of colored light. Davis also made documentary films, including ones about his friends and fellow artists, the architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the painter John Marin.
