Thanks for posting this. He is my 1st cousin 4x removed.
He is my 3GGF. I have a scanned copy of his Civil War Diary. Will publish.
Do you know where the original is? He was my 2nd great grandfather and I too have a copy. Thanks. Joy Pitts.
No. I am checking with Memphis because I was told they had one there. It’s not listed or in World Catalog.
I have been told it is at the TN Staye Museum on display.
Joy, the original is with the family of Captain Harder’s son Earl. A copy of the handwritten original is in the Tennessee State Archives. -Bonnie
Isn’t Earl Prince’s son?
Would absolutely love to see this scan when you get it!
I have the hand written manuscript he wrote using his diary.
Debra, my name is Michael Fletcher. William Harder was my gg-grandfather through George Leslie Harder. His daughter, Ora Effie, was my grandmother. Branford Collins is my uncle. I call him uncle Rip. I have copies of both the original journal (microfilm) and the transcription. I am a historian (Dr. Michael Fletcher) and I have been working with the journal, annotating and cleaning up the transcription. My email address is michaelfletcher67@gmail.com. I would love to speak to you.
