Diary of Magdalen Elizabeth Wilkinson Keith for the years 1862-1865. Includes mostly day to day affairs and gossip, with occassional references to the War - particularly in early 1865.
The Robert W. Allston 1862 Journal consists of entries discussing accounts, prices of items, land papers and a task performed by the enslaved persons Sawney, Mathias and Scipio.
Records chiefly consist of membership rolls for volunteer fire companies of Charleston (S.C.) including the Eagle Fire Engine Company, the Charleston Fire Engine Co., the Vigilant Fire Engine Co., Marion Fire Co., Aetna Fire Co., Washington Fire Co., Hope Fire Co., Charleston Fire Company of Axemen, Palmetto Fire Co., German Fire Co., and the Phoenix Fire Company. Also included is a printed blank form that certifies the bearer is an active firefighter and therefore exempt from Confederate military service. Printed on the certificate are two images of fire engines.
Partial note, possibly from Robert Woodward Barnwell, to unknown recounting a recent unnamed battle. The author writes "such a sight as that field of slain I never dreamed of." ca. 1862.
