Excerpts from John A Clements Civil War Diary

I thought since it was Veterans Day I would post some pages from the diary of John A Clements. Maybe I'll get the others added later. These were interesting to me because he becomes a prisoner of war August 20, 1864. Also the places he mentions, from Georgia to Virginia are the areas our families still live in today. 
     At the time I am posting this I cannot tell you exactly who John A Clements is or his place in our family tree. (Anyone who knows is welcome to tell me so I don't have to hunt!!) My brother Larry had given me copies of this and another diary, but if he told me where he found them, I don't remember. 
     There are many websites where you can do research on Civil War genealogy: www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/, footnote.com, cyndislist.com.
     Sorry for the way it is presented. Hopefully you will be able to enlarge so that you can read it. More later!
