The first is a rough sketch of Captain Starr's army life from date of enlistment, November 28, 1861, to May 23, 1862.

The third part is a sketch of army life from about July 23, 1863, date of his escape from military prison at Macon, Georgia, to the end of his term of service.; Content note: These diaries contain racist and hateful language.; Read about our policy on offensive materials here.
