Transcripts are arranged in chronological order, followed by the biographical material. Wherever possible, first names and/or corrected spellings have been added to names Harville mentions throughout his diaries, due in large part to the Roster of Wisconsin Volunteers, War of the Rebellion, 1861-1865 available online.","John McBride Harville (also spelled Harvill) was born in Illinois on January 29, 1839. His family seems to have moved to Beetown, Wisconsin, around 1843, though other records indicate this may have occurred later. Before the early death of his mother when he was five, his parents appeared to have had three other children: Caroline (later Young), who Harville refers to as \"Carrie\" or \"Cary\" in his diaries; William; and Elizabeth (later Nickerson), who Harville calls \"Lib.\" For several years, he lived with a foster family (the Sargents). His father, William, remarried and had five more children. By the start of the American Civil War, Harville was living with the Batie family in Tafton, Wisconsin.","Although Tafton did not have enough men to raise its own company, volunteers from the area, including Harville, joined others to form Company F, 7th Regiment Wisconsin Infantry in Lancaster during the summer of 1861. Harville served primarily in and around Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland. Chronic health problems resulted in his spending most of September 1862-August 1864 in hospitals in Baltimore, Maryland, though he continues to report on his personal experiences, as well as war news. In January of 1864, he transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps until he mustered out in August 1864.","In October 1864, he married Harriet E. Trine (1846-1916), who he had known since before the war. As early as his first diary in 1861, he records having received letters from Hattie and Lizzie (presumably her sister) Trine. They settled in Wyalusing and had five children: William A. (1865-1894), Annie Laure (b. 1867), Frank D. (1869-1883), Edgar R.(b. 1872), and John M., Jr. (b. 1879). Following the war, Harville was both a farmer and a newspaperman. He died from pneumonia in Wisconsin at age 74 in June 1913.","The 7th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin, and 19th Indiana, formed the \"Iron Brigade\" in the autumn of 1861. In October 1862, the 24th Michigan joined the brigade. The Iron Brigade was under the immediate command of Brig. Gen. Rufus King and made up a part of the 3rd Brigade of the Army of Potomac, under Major General McDowell. Near the front of the battle at Gettysburg, Antietam, The Wilderness, Second Bull Run, and several other major campaigns, over the course of the war, the Iron Brigade suffered the greatest losses in proportion to its numbers.","Additional biographical information is available in the collection. More information on Wisconsin Regiments can be found on the Wisconsin Historical Society website: http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/research.asp.","The guide to the John Harville Diaries by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement, and description of the John Harville Diaries commenced and was completed in August 2010. Some transcripts were provided by the donors. Additional transcripts were completed by Kira Dietz, Josh Howard, John Jackson, Jennifer Mitchell, and Melissa Smith, Special Collections and University Archive Staff, in June-August 2010.","John Harville is mentioned briefly in: Ray, William R., Lance J. Herdegen, and Sherry Murphy. Four Years with the Iron Brigade: The Civil War Journals of William R. Ray, Co. F, Seventh Wisconsin Infantry. [Cambridge, Mass.]: Da Capo Press, 2002. Newman 2nd Floor, E 537.5 7th R39 2002.","VT Special Collections and University Archives houses several publications on the Iron Brigade. A list of these publications, with links to catalog records, is available here.","Newman Library houses additional publications on the Iron Brigade, available for circulation. A list of these publications, with links to catalog records, is available here.","The collection contains eight original diaries, as well as transcripts and additional biographical information. Harville's diaries chronicle his experiences with the 7th Wisconsin Regiment during 1861 and 1862. He spent much of 1863 and 1864 in Newton University Hospital, and later Jarvis Hospital, in Baltimore, Maryland, facing chronic illness.","Clearly intended for an audience, the diaries contain short addresses to the \"Reader\" at the beginning and end, often including an apology for his poor grammar and spelling. Largely self-educated, Harville's diaries are surprisingly legible and his phonetic spellings are easy to decipher. Most of the diaries also include a list of letters received and written, as well as Harville's cash and barter accounts with friends. Several diaries are indexed and/or paginated.","Harville's early entries detail the formation of Company F in Lancaster, Wisconsin, travel to Washington, DC, and life in camp outside Alexandria, Virginia. Like many farmers in the war, he keeps consistent notes on the weather. He recounts stories of his own adventures which more than once landed him in trouble, as well as the exploits of others. He also writes of picket and guard house duty, the occasional scouting mission, frequent drills and dress parades, and war news. He remains relatively well-informed about the war, at least in as much as it related to his experiences and his regiment.","While spending time in Jarvis and Newton University Hospitals, the content of his entries begins to change some. He continues to records war news of note during this period, but the emphasis is on the work he does and the social life he develops. His illness is intermittent and so he also does chores around the hospital, including cleaning inside and outside the buildings, cooking and serving, and running errands. Harville spends a good deal of time helping the local women who volunteer at the hospitals, too, which he appears to thoroughly enjoy. At least two diaries contain a list of women and young ladies with whom he is acquainted.","Permission to publish material from the John Harville Diaries must be obtained from the donors.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

The elder Keyser was a native of Virginia, and in 1900 returned with his family to Virginia, settling in Roanoke. Linwood Keyser graduated from the University of Virginia in 1914 and from Johns Hopkins University in 1918. Continuing his education, Keyser obtained a master's degree in pathology at the University of Minnesota and later studied at the Mayo Clinic. By 1920, Keyser was working at a hospital in New York. He later returned to Roanoke and established a surgical practice, specializing in urology, and contributed a number of articles on the subject to various medical journals. He was elected to the American College of Surgeons in 1928 and the American Board of Urology in 1935. Dr. Keyser died on October 12, 1952, and was buried in Roanoke's Evergreen Cemetery.","The guide to the Linwood D.

Keyser, a urologist in Roanoke, Virginia during the first half of the 20th century. The nature of these items suggests that nearly all of them had all been framed and hung in Dr. Keyser's office.

Also included are membership certificates from three fraternal organizations and a certificate appointing Dr. Keyser's father, Ernest L. Keyser, the postmaster of Roanoke, Virginia.","The images in the collection consist largely of portrait-style photographs of other physicians, many of which have been inscribed to Dr. Keyser. Included is a photo of Dr. William Mayo wearing surgical garb in a surgical preparation room, and three photos of Dr. Keyser and other physicians in this same room. The collection also contains images of other famous and historical figures in medicine, obtained from magazines and other sources. Other images in the collection include photographs of various medical buildings as well as postcard sets depicting medical buildings of Rochester, Minnesota, and scenes from the history of anaesthesia.
