Manuscripts
The small collection contains diaries, letters, documents, and a cabinet photograph of Francis B. and Margaret Harris, taken in Long Beach before 1908. Harris's diaries and letters, mostly to his wife, Margaret, cover the entire period of his military service in Maryland and Virginia, including accounts of the battles of Chancellorsville, Bristoe Station, Mine Run Campaign, and the 1864 Overland Virginia campaign, as well as his extended stay at Lincoln Hospital in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1863. The documents include Harris's military and pension records, a certificate of the Grand Army of the Republic, and a list of soldiers in Upper Pittsgrove, New Jersey, written by Harris in June 1866. Accompanying the collection are some transcripts of parts of the collection, and related material, done by a national park service employee that had access to the original material.
