Web Author's Notes: The 16th OVI website was fortunate in receiving two sample images of a diary kept by Capt. Cushman Cunningham, Co. F . We are hoping to receive additional access to the diary but are very grateful to the contributor, Oscar Thomas, for sharing the images below, giving us another glimpse into the people and times of the Civil War.
