I enjoyed reading this diary from the life an immigrant 19th Century brewer.
Yeah, that was cool.
That was more than cool. Awesome! And he survived 24 battles in the CW? Wow. It sounds like he was a brewer’s brewer.
He doesn’t say which side he fought on, does he? I assume the North.
I like the casual way he describes going from penniless to wealthy and back more than once. He certainly was resilient.
Yeah, the North. He gives the regiment: Turner Regiment 17th Mo Vol (Missouri Volunteers) USA
Very cool read.
Very cool indeed. I like that he, at various times was water boy, brewer, maltster and architect.
Also getting the entire history of his life into a couple of pages and making it totally readable and engaging is amazing.
