arkansas historical commission - archives

I have been in touch with them and they want to copy the diary so it can be shared with anyone looking for their relatives. We will deliver it to them sometime this year.

Just about completed the transcribing...whew what a job.

From the stories about Captain TJ Morrision, we know he was a gentle sole that did not believe in slavery. His family although wealthy land owners, never owned slaves. The family split depending on their locale as to whether they fought for the CSA or Union Armies. Brother against brother, how sad that must have been.
