The Diary of a Civil War Marine: Private Josiah Gregg is a rare
firsthand account of a United States Marine during the Civil War,
written within hours of the events described. Gregg enlisted as a
private at the beginning of the war, and served as a shipboard
Marine on the Vanderbilt as it hunted Confederate raiders in the
Caribbean and Atlantic. He also served aboard the Brooklyn at the
battles of Mobile Bay and Fort Fischer. Part war story and part
travel log, Gregg tells a good story with the confident prose of a
man who worked as a school teacher and a clerk before the war. Seen
by only Gregg's descendants for the last 140 years, the diary
entries have been edited to include notes that explain what might
be unclear to a modern audience. Also included are brief histories
of the ships and the events described in the journal, and eight
black and white photographs that were found inside the journal.
