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.

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.

Kinsey died on April 18, 1886.\u003c/p\u003e  "],"bioghist_heading_ssm":["Biographical / Historical"],"bioghist_tesim":["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).

Additionally, the collection arrived containing letters predating and unrelated to World War II, many lacking names, dates, or other identifying information, as well as a few items of unrelated ephemera.

The processor decided to separate into individual correspondents and organize the collection by correspondent and then chronologically.","Processed by Lynda Kachurek.","MS-8 World War I \u0026 II Pamphlets Collection.","Series I, George \u0026 Mary (Zyla) Orlikowski Letters, contains over 230 letters written by George Orlikowski to his girlfriend, and later wife, Mary Zyla Orlikowski. Dating between July 1942 and March 1945, the series traces Orlikowski's wartime activities as well as what was happening on the home front. Family concerns and military life dominate the writings, but they also offer views into larger wartime concerns of both military and life on the home front.  Additionally, there are many examples of humorous envelopes and letterhead. In one letter from December 1944, as George's unit is preparing to ship out to the Pacific, he creates a code based on his salutations so that Mary can track his location without the censor's knowledge. Overall, these letters create a nearly complete and compelling story of a Midwestern couple during World War II.","Series II, Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham Letters, contains 152 letters written to Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham between 1941 and 1944 from a variety of correspondents. A student at Millsaps College at the time, Dorothy lived in Jackson, Mississippi. Between 1943 and 1945, Millsaps was home to the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which may help explain how she connected with many of her letter writers. One notable correspondent is Jack Devore Dunn, whose 52 letters include information about his service with the Army Air Corps South Pacific campaign, including his participation with his B-26 crew in the Battle of Midway. Dunn received both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross. There are also 9 letters from Jack's mother, Mrs. Betty Uhlorn. Other correspondents included men serving in the Naval Reserve, the Marine Corps, and the Army. Overall, the letters in this series offer a wide-ranging and diverse perspective on military service throughout World War II as well as a sense of what life on the home-front was like for a female college student. Raynham married William C. Fullilove on June 6, 1944, and died in October 1967.","Series III, Parrish Family Letters, contains 88 letters from and about the W.R. Parrish family of North Carolina. Beginning in 1914, the correspondence runs through the end of 1943, with some gaps in the timeline.  Many of the letters are written from W.R. Parrish or his daughter, \"Lib\" to Lillian [Mrs. W.R.] Parrish, and cover business concerns, family life, and some coverage of the war in letters from the wartime years.","Series IV, Walter \"Wally\" and Ann Wrobel Letters, contains 109 letters primarily from Wally Wrobel, with some from his wife, Ann, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wrobel, of Chicago, Illinois. Beginning in August 1943, when Wrobel was a private in the U.S. Army stationed at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, the letters follow his career across several different locations where, occasionally, Ann was able to join him. Many of the letters focus on the home front, discussing his parents' lives as well as things going on with his wife and, eventually, his young daughter. Early in 1944, his correspondence switches as his military activities increase and by Fall 1944, he makes brief mentions of being near New Guinea and later the Philippines. He occasionally mentions battles or other military activities, but usually his correspondence is more about the weather or activities at home. The last letter in the series was written on May 13, 1945, just one day before, according to military records, he died in action on May 14.","Series V, Other World War II Letters, contains three smaller sets of unrelated correspondence concerning World War II. The first set contains 92 letters written by Paul Dobin to Charlotte Gibbs. Between March 1 and July 23, 1944, he wrote nearly every day, talking of his life in the Navy as well as encouraging her in schoolwork, family matters, and eventually planning their wedding. Further research showed that Gibbs and her family were German Jewish immigrants having arrived in the United States in 1934. The second set of letters were written by Davis Lee, serving in the Navy, to his wife, Georgia, of Martinsville, Virginia, between mid-November 1944 and January 1945. Most of the 11 letters are trying to arrange plans for a furlough visit and telling how much he misses her. The third set contains 7 letters from Private Ray Trapp to his parents, Mr. \u0026 Mrs. Ray Trapp of Berea, Ohio, in April and May 1945, describing his activities during the end of the war in Germany.","Series VI, Other Letters, contains 26 folders of letters unrelated to World War II. Dating between 1857 and 1947, these often single letters contain a wide variety of information, including business advertisements, wedding announcements, and general correspondence from many areas. One of the more intriguing sets can be found in Box 2, File 16, which contains 3 letters from a Dutch Navy officer, known only as John/Jake, to Frances Pogue of Cincinnati, Ohio. Written while at sea in 1916 and later from his hospital bed in 1918, the author talks of books read and his experiences during the Great War. Box 2, File 29, may also be of interest as it contains a handwritten advertisement for a wife by an unknown male.","Series VII, Ephemera, contains 3 folders of items that are not correspondence. The first is a Latin notebook, which also contains newspaper clippings about London society. The second and third contain photographic materials.","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 contains more than 700 letters, the vast majority dating to World War II between 1940 and 1945.

Between 1943 and 1945, Millsaps was home to the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which may help explain how she connected with many of her letter writers. One notable correspondent is Jack Devore Dunn, whose 52 letters include information about his service with the Army Air Corps South Pacific campaign, including his participation with his B-26 crew in the Battle of Midway. Dunn received both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross. There are also 9 letters from Jack's mother, Mrs. Betty Uhlorn. Other correspondents included men serving in the Naval Reserve, the Marine Corps, and the Army. Overall, the letters in this series offer a wide-ranging and diverse perspective on military service throughout World War II as well as a sense of what life on the home-front was like for a female college student.

Many of the letters focus on the home front, discussing his parents' lives as well as things going on with his wife and, eventually, his young daughter. Early in 1944, his correspondence switches as his military activities increase and by Fall 1944, he makes brief mentions of being near New Guinea and later the Philippines. He occasionally mentions battles or other military activities, but usually his correspondence is more about the weather or activities at home.

Further research showed that Gibbs and her family were German Jewish immigrants having arrived in the United States in 1934. The second set of letters were written by Davis Lee, serving in the Navy, to his wife, Georgia, of Martinsville, Virginia, between mid-November 1944 and January 1945.

Written while at sea in 1916 and later from his hospital bed in 1918, the author talks of books read and his experiences during the Great War.

The last letter in the series was written on May 13, 1945, just one day before, according to military records, he died in action on May 14.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSeries V, Other World War II Letters, contains three smaller sets of unrelated correspondence concerning World War II. The first set contains 92 letters written by Paul Dobin to Charlotte Gibbs. Between March 1 and July 23, 1944, he wrote nearly every day, talking of his life in the Navy as well as encouraging her in schoolwork, family matters, and eventually planning their wedding. Further research showed that Gibbs and her family were German Jewish immigrants having arrived in the United States in 1934. The second set of letters were written by Davis Lee, serving in the Navy, to his wife, Georgia, of Martinsville, Virginia, between mid-November 1944 and January 1945. Most of the 11 letters are trying to arrange plans for a furlough visit and telling how much he misses her. The third set contains 7 letters from Private Ray Trapp to his parents, Mr. \u0026amp; Mrs. Ray Trapp of Berea, Ohio, in April and May 1945, describing his activities during the end of the war in Germany.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSeries VI, Other Letters, contains 26 folders of letters unrelated to World War II. Dating between 1857 and 1947, these often single letters contain a wide variety of information, including business advertisements, wedding announcements, and general correspondence from many areas. One of the more intriguing sets can be found in Box 2, File 16, which contains 3 letters from a Dutch Navy officer, known only as John/Jake, to Frances Pogue of Cincinnati, Ohio. Written while at sea in 1916 and later from his hospital bed in 1918, the author talks of books read and his experiences during the Great War. Box 2, File 29, may also be of interest as it contains a handwritten advertisement for a wife by an unknown male.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eSeries VII, Ephemera, contains 3 folders of items that are not correspondence.

Dating between July 1942 and March 1945, the series traces Orlikowski's wartime activities as well as what was happening on the home front. Family concerns and military life dominate the writings, but they also offer views into larger wartime concerns of both military and life on the home front.  Additionally, there are many examples of humorous envelopes and letterhead. In one letter from December 1944, as George's unit is preparing to ship out to the Pacific, he creates a code based on his salutations so that Mary can track his location without the censor's knowledge. Overall, these letters create a nearly complete and compelling story of a Midwestern couple during World War II.","Series II, Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham Letters, contains 152 letters written to Dorothy \"Dot\" Raynham between 1941 and 1944 from a variety of correspondents. A student at Millsaps College at the time, Dorothy lived in Jackson, Mississippi. Between 1943 and 1945, Millsaps was home to the V-12 Navy College Training Program, which may help explain how she connected with many of her letter writers. One notable correspondent is Jack Devore Dunn, whose 52 letters include information about his service with the Army Air Corps South Pacific campaign, including his participation with his B-26 crew in the Battle of Midway. Dunn received both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross. There are also 9 letters from Jack's mother, Mrs. Betty Uhlorn. Other correspondents included men serving in the Naval Reserve, the Marine Corps, and the Army. Overall, the letters in this series offer a wide-ranging and diverse perspective on military service throughout World War II as well as a sense of what life on the home-front was like for a female college student. Raynham married William C. Fullilove on June 6, 1944, and died in October 1967.","Series III, Parrish Family Letters, contains 88 letters from and about the W.R. Parrish family of North Carolina. Beginning in 1914, the correspondence runs through the end of 1943, with some gaps in the timeline.  Many of the letters are written from W.R. Parrish or his daughter, \"Lib\" to Lillian [Mrs. W.R.] Parrish, and cover business concerns, family life, and some coverage of the war in letters from the wartime years.","Series IV, Walter \"Wally\" and Ann Wrobel Letters, contains 109 letters primarily from Wally Wrobel, with some from his wife, Ann, to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Wrobel, of Chicago, Illinois. Beginning in August 1943, when Wrobel was a private in the U.S. Army stationed at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, the letters follow his career across several different locations where, occasionally, Ann was able to join him. Many of the letters focus on the home front, discussing his parents' lives as well as things going on with his wife and, eventually, his young daughter. Early in 1944, his correspondence switches as his military activities increase and by Fall 1944, he makes brief mentions of being near New Guinea and later the Philippines. He occasionally mentions battles or other military activities, but usually his correspondence is more about the weather or activities at home. The last letter in the series was written on May 13, 1945, just one day before, according to military records, he died in action on May 14.","Series V, Other World War II Letters, contains three smaller sets of unrelated correspondence concerning World War II.
