The kind of day-by-day journal fragment that you wish your ancestor had kept, complete with jokes and little episodes of daily life in camp -- a resource for what life was really like, whether your people ever saw the inside of Camp Toledo or not.

Thanks for your mention of the article 8 Days in Camp Toledo which appeared in the Ohio Civil War Journal. Kelleys Island soldiers wrote home often and their stories and letters were included in the island's hand-written newspaper. Most all of these will be appearing in my series of books on Kelleys Island. Leslie (www.KelleysIslandStory.com)
