  • The 1863 Diary of William H. Carroll, Mess No. 2, Company D, 24Th Indiana Volunteers
    The 1863 Diary of William H. Carroll, Mess No. 2, Company D, 24th Indiana Volunteers illiam H. Carroll came from a family of farmers. His father Dixon and Wmother Luticia moved with their family from North Carolina (vari- ously, in the late 1820s or early 1830s) and settled on land in Daviess County, Indiana. Carroll (born in 1834 or 1835, depending on the source) grew up on the family farm with his five brothers. When war came, five of the six brothers fought for the Union: William and John in Company D of the 24th Indiana; Robert, Nathaniel, and Dixon in Company G of the 42nd Indiana.1 William was mustered into the 24th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment on July 2, 1861. He fought at Shiloh; was wounded at Champion Hill and remained with his regiment through the siege of Vicksburg; reen- listed on December 31, 1863, in Louisiana; and fought almost until the end of the war, mustering out due to multiple disabilities on May 29, 1865. By that time Carroll had developed severe rheumatism and had impaired eye- __________________________ Initial transcription of the diary was done by Frank Carroll, a great-great grandson of William. Mr. Carroll also provided copies of the Carroll brothers’ veterans records and of family histories which were used in the introduction above. Mr. Carroll and his family have generously donat- ed the original diary, William Carroll’s original discharge, and a collection of family photo- graphs to the Lilly Library at Indiana University Bloomington. 1John (b. 1829) was mustered out of service in July 1864, spent the rest of his life with a variety of illnesses and injuries incurred during the war, and died in 1904; Robert (b.

One op- eration after another, beginning with the Marshalls and running straight through the first air strikes on Tokyo, the big battleship has gone about the business of leveling Jap shore instal- lations and protecting carrier forces in the proverbial "one hand tied be- hind the back" fashion. Attacking Jap planes take one look at the dread- nought's gun-studded decks. That's usually enough. The one-time fast carrier task force flagship is potential enemy destruction, and no one is more aware of it than the Japs.

Dated August 1, 1945, he found the poem during a review of his navy souvenirs and donated it to the ship’s archives.
