Review:
These papers include the Civil War diaries of John Payson Slocum, a soldier of the 189th New York Infantry. Daily entries provide a detailed summary of Slocum's activities and experiences. His entry of April 9, 1865, recorded at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, offers a good account of the events related to Lee's surrender from the perspective of a soldier. These papers also include a copy of a letter written by General Henry Warner Slocum to President Lincoln, January 9, 1865, concerning the possibility of nominating John Payson Slocum for admission to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Other papers relate to Charles Slocum's certification to teach school and appointment as postmaster at Delphi, New York.
