Diary that Ort kept during his stay in Alexandria and through the Rapidan Campaign, including Spottsylvania Court House and the Wilderness. The diary gives detailed accounts of minutia of camp life, paying special attention to daily diversions, such as "kicking foot ball," reading dime novels and "ten cent monthleys," and attending theaters, "bath saloons," houses of ill repute, and various drinking and gambling establishments in Alexandria and Washington, as well Ort's numerous love conquests.
