To day very Pleasant
Col. Spitler's Regt moved
down near Charlestown
today
Mann Spitler (1825- ) was Colonel of the 97th Virginia Militia, from Page County. Civil War Sites and Stories of Luray and Page County, Virginia (2002) mentions Spitler--and prints two photographs of his house. RKK
There are no more dated entries in the diary other than a list of expenses on pages in early Dec. Beginning in the "Memoranda" section at the back of the
diary are three pages of drilling instructions.
The Special Collections Dept. is seeking more information about Harrison Jones. Did he continue with the Stonewall Brigade but give up keeping the diary? Are there any other known diaries or letters? Any information is appreciated.
