The memoir begins with Mugler's birth in Alsace-Lorraine in 1838, and covers his immigration to the United States; enlistment in the United States Army in 1851; military duty in New York, Boston, Rhode Island, Texas, California, and the Washington Territory where he participated in the expedition against the Yakima Indians as a member of Company B, Third Regiment, United States Artillery, under Phil Sheridan; and his return to Orange County, Virginia, where following the passage of the Secession Ordinance he enlisted in the Thirteenth Virginia Infantry serving as chief musician. The memoir concludes with Mugler's military career during 1861-1862. The diary covers the remainder of his military service, 1862-1864, and his confinement as a war prisoner at Elmira, New York, 1864-1865. Following the war, Mugler returned to Washington, D.C., and eventually gained employment with the National Cemetery Corps, working at various Virginia battlefields. While in Virginia he served as a delegate to the Virginia Republican Convention of 1867. He worked at the National Cemetery at Grafton and for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, eventually becoming superintendent of painters on the Road Division in West Virginia. After 1874 he worked briefly as a self-employed painter, and then opened a paint and hardware store in Grafton which he managed until the end of his life. Subjects include the Battle of Mine Run, the retreat from Antietam, the Battle of the Wilderness, prison life at Elmira, New York; reconstruction in Virginia; railroading and the railroad towns of Keyser, Oakland (Maryland), Parkersburg, Fairmont, and Wheeling; the strikes of 1877; interviews with Generals Ord and Sheridan; the Murphy Temperance Movement and W.C.T.U. activities; the Liberal Republican movement of 1872; the Greenback Party; the Chicago World's Fair of 1893; political figures such as John S.

In subsequent years he held a number of positions, among them Treasurer at VMI (1872-1882) and Commissioner of the Revenue for the city of Lexington.

I came near giving out coming from Charlestown to Harrisonburg. If it had not been for fear of the yanks taking me prisoner I would certainly have stopped on the road side. I just came from Weyers Cave. Don't think much of it, going as we had to go with a great crowd of soldiers \u0026 with a few candles, it was very muddy in there too.

Left Scottsville last Thursday week, had a very pleasant time over there. I think I must have gained 8 or 10 lbs in weight while there.  I wrote to you from Ben's just after I got there. Received a letter from you which was written about the same time mine was.","I stopped in Harrisonburg several days on my way down. Had hard work to get away from the girls. Only a portion of our Battery is at this place, the rest of it is with the army.  I supposed we will go down tomorrow. The company suffered very much in the late battle of Sharpsburg. Lost about 12 horses in consequence of which this portion had to come back to the rear. We are going to get 2 large 20 lb parrot gun in a day or two. Every thing is quiet below. We are camped in sight of the battlefield of Kernstown. The weather is much cooler down here than it was in eastern Virginia. Horace has gone to Leesburg to join his regiment. I asked the Captain about the letter sent by Mr. Preston but he knows nothing of it.","5th \nI put off finishing this letter until this morning.

Please don't send any more clothes. I have more than I can carry now.  I had to ride to Orange C.H. for that bundle. I saw Sam, he is quite well. I think Jones Cavalry is at Brandy Station. I did not know Annie was with you until I received her letter. I am sorry she is not at home so she could come \u0026 see me, or send me some eatables, although we are living pretty well now. We draw corn \u0026 buttermilk sometimes.","I don't think we will have a fight for the next month.  All is very quiet along the lines.

I have some twill cotton in my trunk, make me a pair of drawers. Also make up my other pair of pants. There is a small piece of flannel in the trunk to stripe them. Send them by some reliable person. I got ten dollars from McCrum when he was down. I will write on order for Mr. Hopkins to pay it.","I saw Mr. Humphries in Charlestown. One of the citizens told me his mind had been partially impaired by the exciting times.","There is a great many citizens from Rockbridge down here.  Looks something like home to see so many. I must close as I have to go to cooking dinner. \nYour affectionate brother, \nThos. M. Wade \nI thought this order was necessary to act as a voucher.","Kernstown \nOctober 4th, 1862","Dear Lou \nI arrived at this place yesterday evening. Left Scottsville last Thursday week, had a very pleasant time over there. I think I must have gained 8 or 10 lbs in weight while there.  I wrote to you from Ben's just after I got there. Received a letter from you which was written about the same time mine was.","I stopped in Harrisonburg several days on my way down. Had hard work to get away from the girls. Only a portion of our Battery is at this place, the rest of it is with the army.  I supposed we will go down tomorrow. The company suffered very much in the late battle of Sharpsburg. Lost about 12 horses in consequence of which this portion had to come back to the rear. We are going to get 2 large 20 lb parrot gun in a day or two. Every thing is quiet below. We are camped in sight of the battlefield of Kernstown. The weather is much cooler down here than it was in eastern Virginia. Horace has gone to Leesburg to join his regiment. I asked the Captain about the letter sent by Mr. Preston but he knows nothing of it.","5th \nI put off finishing this letter until this morning. We are just about to move off to the army about 16 miles below. Has J \u0026 Ma started to Scottsville yet?  Smallpox has broken out in Winchester. All the sick have been sent away. Has the Col. \u0026 Lady got back yet? Mr. Dawson saw them in Richmond. The wind blew very hard last night \u0026 pretty cold too, begin to feel like winter. Has George Chapin started for the army yet \u0026 what company is he going to join. I heard some one say they saw Sam F. a week ago. \nI must close, love to all. \nYour affectionate Bro. \nThomas M. Wade","Camp at Blue Run Church \nAugust 12, 1863","Dear Lou \nI received the bundle \u0026 letter by Jim Compton yesterday, also a letter from Annie \u0026 as Mr. Dandridge a member of our company is going to Rockbridge on furlough I thought I would\nanswer by him.  Please don't send any more clothes. I have more than I can carry now.  I had to ride to Orange C.H. for that bundle. I saw Sam, he is quite well. I think Jones Cavalry is at Brandy Station. I did not know Annie was with you until I received her letter. I am sorry she is not at home so she could come \u0026 see me, or send me some eatables, although we are living pretty well now. We draw corn \u0026 buttermilk sometimes.","I don't think we will have a fight for the next month.  All is very quiet along the lines. As Dandridge is going right away I have not time to write longer. He did not know he was going until about 20 minutes ago. ","I will write again soon. My love to all. \nYour affect. Bro., \nThomas M. Wade","P.S. Your letter was directed right for the first time I believe."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThomas M. Wade, Jr. collection, 1862-1875. MS 0474.
