Bericht des Soldaten Edward Tindall, Keystone Battery of Philadelphia, über Lt. Walsh und Sergeant Brown im amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Fünf in Tinte beschriebene Seiten, Tindall erzählt rückblickend, dass er wie weitere Söhne wohlhabender Familien Philadelphias "during the war of rebellion" Soldat der Keystone Battery war. Die Battery wurde dem 196. Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers unterstellt und anstatt mit versprochenen "Field Pieces (called cannons)" mit Musketen ausgerüstet und zum Infanteriedienst abkommandiert. Nach Bewachung von "Rebel Prisoners at Camp Chase" in der Nähe von Chicago, wurde das Regiment ausgewählt, die Stadt Springfield, der Heimat des Präsidenten Abraham Lincoln, als Sicherheitsgarde zu bewachen. In dieser Zeit wurden die hochangesehenen "Boys in our company" von der "upper class of the community of Springfield" in deren gesellschaftliches Leben miteinbezogen. Lieutenant Robert Walsh und Sergeant Amos Brown missbrauchten das Vertrauen der Springfielder Gesellschaft, vergaßen fern der Heimat ihre Erziehung und verführten und schwängerten zwei jungfräuliche Mädchen aus wohlhabenden Familien.
Dazu das Tagebuch seiner späteren Frau Martha R. Bannan von Oktober 1856 bis August 1858. Über 180 in Tinte beschriebene Seiten in dunkelblauem Ledereinband (Bindung etwas locker, Rücken schadhaft). Mit dem Elan einer wohl 16-/17-jährigen Schülerin beschreibt sie akribisch genau und gottesfürchtig ihre Tagesabläufe, gesellschaftliche und familiäre Ereignisse, über erste Romanzen u.v.m.
Außerdem zwei Studiofotos (Broadbent & Co. Philadelphia bzw. Edward Morgan, Philadelphia, teilkoloriert) von Martha R. Bannan, eines rs. bez. "Grandmother Tindall...", sowie zwei Fotos von Edward Tindall in Bürgerkriegsuniform der Nordstaaten (eines koloriert, Broadbent & Co., Philadelphia, bzw. Rehn & Hurn, Philadelphia), eines rs. bez. "Edward Tindall in Civil War Uniform (Grandfather Tindall)".
Vermutlich handelt es sich um Martha Ridgway Bannan, die Johann Wolfgang von Goethes "Die Laune des Verliebten" ("The Lover`s Caprice") und "Die Fischerin" ("The Fisher Maiden") ins Englische übersetzte, 1899 erschienen bei John C. Yorston in Philadelphia ("Translated for the First Time and in Original Meters").
