Sharing & preserving the history of the 8th Texas Cavalry Regiment, 1861-1865
The
Online Archive of Diaries & Journals
Many
of the soldiers carried diaries or journals during the war. When found these
often prove to be an invaluable resource for tracking the Rangers' activities
during the war. Even seemingly "mundane" entries describing such
things as when and where they ate, the weather, and attitudes towards others
in the regiment can be valuable clues in better understanding the Rangers.
The following is intended to be a list of all identified diaries, journals,
and scrapbooks belonging to Terry's Texas Rangers. Not all are available online
but we list them here as a way of noting their existence for researchers and
future generations.
We are always looking for additional diaries, journals, and scrapbooks If you know of such an item not listed here we encourage you to so that we may include information on its existence in this listing. If you possess an original diary and would like to share it with the world we would be very interested in receiving copies or transcriptions that we might add it to the online archives.
