Service in Two Armies: The Diaries of Henry Little

The diaries of Confederate Brigadier General Henry Little consist of records from Henry Little’s service from his entry on active duty in 1839 until he was killed in the Battle of Iuka in 1862. These diaries are likely the last diaries of a Civil War-era general officer in private hands that are still unpublished. The legacy of Gen. Henry Little constitutes a real piece of little-known American history. These 13 small books, written in his own handwriting, provide a fascinating insight into the activities of a soldier who fought in two wars for both the Union and Confederate sides and experienced a wide variety of military activity from Baltimore to Mexico and the expanding American frontier.
