Kenneth Spencer Research Library Archival Collections

A single diary, probably for the years 1863-1867, includes entries from a soldier who might have been named John Adams and might have served with the 2nd Kansas Volunteer Cavalry during the American Civil War. The volume also includes what appears to be financial accounts with individuals in Trading Post, Linn County, Kansas from after the war.

These 7 volumes are the register (1857-1858) and diaries (1862-1868) of Thomas Huston of Kansas City, Missouri. He records his work records and habits and his social life as well as how the Civil War affected his life.
