N2  - Diary kept by Weist (1863 January 1-1864 March 4) during his Civil War service in the 20th Indiana Regiment Company A of the U.S. Army.  Chronicles the regiment's encampment at Falmouth, Va., from January to April 1863 and a review of the troops in April by a "rather pale and weary" President Abraham Lincoln.  Documents participation of the regiment during 1863 in campaigns in Chancellorsville, Va., Gettysburg, Pa., and Mine Run, Va., as well as deployment to New York, N.Y., during the Draft Riot in August and September 1863.  Diary entries pertain chiefly to camp life, the weather, and news about the war.  Includes a photocopy of the diary and a transcription of the diary by Gordon V. Bradshaw along with Bradshaw's research and notes
