Title	William Henry Baker Diary, November 8, 1864 - September 27, 1865
Source Title	William Henry Baker Diary, November 8, 1864 - September 27, 1865
Regiment	30th Infantry
Volume	4
Author/Creator	Baker, William H.
Description	William Henry Baker (1843-1898), a farmer from the town of Linden in Iowa County, was still a teenager when he began keeping these diaries. He served as a private in Co. B of the 30th Wisconsin Infantry. The diaries were written in Camp Randall, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Kentucky. Baker saw no combat, and describes tracking deserters, camp life, and guarding prisoners. He provides information about hospital conditions, training, food, rumors, alcohol consumption, and other aspects of daily life. Baker is rarely introspective and recorded very few reflections. He comments on public events such as the surrender of General Lee and assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
