On an "I will if you will" dare, John Haley enlisted in the 17th
Maine Regiment in August 1862 "for three years, unless sooner
discharged." ("Discharged, shot, or starved" would have been more
accurate, Haley later wryly observed.) Though a reluctant soldier
at first, he served steadfastly in the Army of the Potomac for
nearly three years, participating in some of the most significant
battles of the Civil War. John Haley was not the only soldier to
record each day's events in his journal by firelight or by picket's
lantern, for his was a literate generation. He was unusual in that
he later painstakingly rewrote his battlefield notes, "reflecting
at leisure" and adding fascinating political and personal
commentary to produce the remarkable volume he calls Haley's
Chronicles.
