T. J. Walker's handwritten, 98-page manuscript chronicles the time he spent with the 9th Tennessee Infantry between approximately 1861 and 1865. During his service, Walker was wounded five times and contracted dysentery and typhoid at Corinth, Mississippi. This manuscript documents Walker's entry into the Confederate Army, his experiences in battle (including such battles as Shiloh and Missionary Ridge), his thoughts about enemy soldiers, his encounters with various civilians, his unit's camps and movements, and finally his unit's surrender to Union forces in 1865.
