Important
Civil War Diary of 8th Ill. Cavalry |
This
unpublished 36 page typed copy that descended in the family of Sgt. Silas D.
Wesson, Co. K, 8th Illinois Cavalry, one of the most storied Cavalry units of the
Civil War is an amazing document in many respects. The 8th Ill. Cavalry was the
only Cavalry Regiment to serve with the Army of the Potomac from its
beginning till the end of the war, nicknamed by Lincoln Farnsworth’s
Abolitionists. It’s list of battles and engagements with the enemy is far to
long to list here. The diary is quite unusual in that it is the most humorous
Civil War diary I have had the pleasure of reading, and I have read a large
number of them. While Silas was a man of few words, they were often very well
chosen. Some of the more interesting parts of the diary follow: Oct. 29, 1864
Freeman has been taking some of Uncle Sam’s horses for his own use. The
Quartermaster is after him. Marched down Pennsylvania Avenue by the White
House. We halted and gave three cheers. Some one came to the door swung his
long arm at us, made a bow. It was Old Abe. Oh dear! He is so homely.; Feb.
9, 1862 Had a funny time in church. An Episcopal minister named Stewart would
not pray for the President. Capt. Farnsworth took John Kinley and Wm. Willard
and marched the old rebel off to the guard house. The rebel newspaper office
caught fire and burned down. The boys did not try to stop it.; Mar. 30 Said
Good bye to Laurence Bacon, Jeff Gardner and Sumner Burnham, discharged for
disability. Wish I had some disability too.; May 5 Battle of Williamsburg, my
first battle. It is not pleasant work. The weather is hot. They are burning
the woods to burn the dead. The men cannot bury any more on account of the
stench.; May 10 Battle of West Point. Took an Irishman prisoner. Col.
Farnsworth asked him what he was fighting for. He answered, For the men who
pushed me into it.; July 24 A woman from the Christian Sanitary camp walked
through our camp. She scared our horses almost to death.; Aug. 1 weather is
hot. The flies give us no rest. The ground is full of lice. The hospitals are
full of sick. There is not half of the men in the Co. fit for duty. If the
rebs are as bad off as we, there will not be much fighting.; Aug. 31 Some one
stole my best shirt last night. I have one left and will wear it all the
time. Kitsmiller had his head cut off by a saber at Dispatch Station but he
came back from Richmond with his head stuck on again. Mistakes will happen.;
Sept 1 Landed at Alexandria and marched out to Bull Run. Our army was badly
whipped, I think, from appearances. Everything is in confusion and the men
look discouraged.; Sept 4 Crossed the Potomac at Chain Bridge. Lee has gone
into Maryland.; Sept. 7 Had another fight today, beat them again...We are
crowding them back to the river.; Sept. 27 We have a new chaplain now, Rev.
Philo Judson. He can’t preach for sour apples…; Sept 23 Crossed the river on
a scout. Captured a reb officer. We gave his name Fitzhugh Lee, Lieut. Col.
23rd Va. He
is tall and slender and swears as good as a Yankee.; Oct. 3 Old Abe was
reviewing officers. I wonder how he likes the looks of his Illinois troops.
He made faces at us as he rode by. But maybe he was only smiling. Poor man.
He looks tired and warn out and he is as homely as a mud fence.; Nov. 10 Left
our wounded in the rear of Markhem Station. The rebs robbed them of
everything but the negroes fed our men until we could get them to our
hospital.; Nov. 27 Chaplain Judson preaches and prays to us and his son gets
drunk and swears at us and one does as much good as the other.; Jan. 31 Have
been standing picket one month, on guard every night. It is hard work but I
am getting used to it.; April 6 Grand review of the Cavalry Mud knee deep but
we marched the best we could. Lincoln and his wife were here. The President
looks tired but he is as handsome as ever.; April 15 We are on the march...We
crossed the river at Freemans Ford. The rebs surrounded us. We had a hard
fight to get out...We got out of the trap at last.; April 25 Marched through
Salem to Carter Run Valley...Went to John A. Washington’s house, got some
very nice books from his library. (John A. Washington was the last private
owner of Mt. Vernon which he sold in 1858 and moved to his Waveland
Plantation, located near Marshall, Va. and this is likely where Silas looted
those books. He was a Lt. Col. and aide-de-camp to R.E. Lee, killed at an
engagement at Cheat Mt. In , Sept.1861); May 2 Eleventh Corps broke. The
enemy was coming in force to cut us off from the ford. Pleasonton got his
artillary in position, gave them grape and canister. The 8th Penn. And 6th N.Y. charged and were
badly cut up. We stopped them but it was hard work.; May 17 Started on a
scout...to Floucester Point...We scooped everything on the way. On our
return, every negro followed us. Our column was about ten miles long. Col.
Brockenburg let us have a fine span of horses, that is we took them.’ May 27
Went to camp near Brooks Station. Sent the negoes to Washington to see Marse
Lincoln.; June 9 Marched all night last, met the enemy at daylight. Have been
fighting all day I have got a bullet through my right thigh. My horse is
killed. I am going to the rear.; July 5 Have a hard fight at Gettysburg. Our
Reg’t opened the fight, firing the first shot. I wonder who fired the last.
Farnsworth is dead, struck with four bullets as he was leading a charge. He
was A bold and fearless rider, A leader tried and true; As e’er amid the
storm of war the brand of battle drew. Where coward souls might falter, Or
fools be rashly vain, He never rashly drew his steel, Or weakly drew his
rein. Kilpatrick was jealous of him and ordered him to make an attack. He
could not win.; Aug. 1 Again with the reg’t, but many of the boys have been
killed or crippled for life.; Sept 19 I got Old Charley back. Old Charley
was stolen by Deck, but he could not ride him, so Simon Saydan rode
him...Deck got him back & kept him. He was shot from under Simon twice,
once in the knee and once in the nose. He was left for dead when shot in the
nose, but he followed Simon who went on on foot, he came up behind Uncle
Simon and whinnied: I rode him a short time of 62. I shall keep him now as
long as he lives.; Sept 25 Have got a lot of prisoners, poor devils, they
look sorry. Our orders were to burn every barn in the Shenandoah valley,
destroy all the grain, take all men prisoners, drive off all the stock and
leave the women and children to starve, I suppose. We would not do it. It is
the first time I saw the reg’t refuse to obey orders.; The diary continues in
this vain for many more pages with descriptions of battles, saving Custer
from a trap, death of CSA Cavalry head Stuart, fighting Moseby and much more.
We will skip to near the end after Silas re-enlisted with the following:
April 15 Last night boots & saddles sounded. We are marching west. It is
said Lincoln is killed. I don’t believe it. April 16 It is true Lincoln is
killed, we are marching east now, going into Maryland...The was a party at
Brigade headquarters and Wilkes Booth was invited on the 15th. The night before he
killed Lincoln and dug out. If we gets our hands on him he had better say his
prayers quick. April 17 Still hunting for Booth. We found his boot at Dr.
Mudd’s. We took the Dr. in. Boot is hid somewhere and he will be found. It is
all heavy timber here. We marched all the swamps in Maryland hunting for
Booth. April 19 We hear Lincoln’s funeral is today in Washington. April 25 In
camp near Washington. Booth is taken. Now if we could get him he would be
roasted over a slow fire. April 29 We hear Johnson has surrendered. The war
is over sure and we will go home to die no more. The diary continues for
several more pages until the Regiment was discharged in Chicago. Silas did
buy Old Charley and take him home to Decatur, where he is now buried on the
family farm. The 8th served as President
Lincoln’s Honor guard, while his body was under the rotunda of the Capital in
Washington. Silas D. Wesson was buried in DeKalb Co. Victor cemetery in 1909.
We can assure any bidders on this lot that the above quotes are only a small
fraction of the interesting parts of this diary, in fact I left out my
favorite passage from the diary. I think most Civil War historians would
agree with me when I state that a humorous Civil War dairy is a very rare
thing indeed. There are copies of this diary with the U.S. Army archives and
Illinois History & Lincoln Collections, Manuscript Collections, but
neither of these are online or published. |

evasions are ridiculous. One informs me that his predecessor should have made

and could not give returns. A third that his brigade was so extensive that he
had not been able to collect the returns from his officers. A fourth sends me
the aggregate strength of the brigade without designating the regiments. A
fifth gives the number of regiments and total, without naming the general or
field officers. A sixth makes an estimate or guess at what he supposes to be
the strength of the brigade, but does not include several volunteer corps. A
seventh (Samuel A. Smith) informs me that he has not received his commission
and cannot act until he does… The letter ends with the following: I beg leave
to apologize for troubling you with this long letter and pray you make my
best respects acceptable to his Excellency the Governor. The next letter is a
single page of inked manuscript text detailing the appalling condition of the
arms of the State Militia Brigades., and the trouble he is having in getting
the commanders to send in reports on same. States the following: That there
have been a deficiency of nearly 20,000 muskets in nine years and in the last
two years nearly 7000 deficient or lost!! Letter is signed Robert Carr
