 File — Folder: 1

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

"From Murfreesboro to Chickamauga and Libby Prison" is a photocopy of a typed document, which was made from an original dictation of Dr. Henry Goodale's experience as a surgeon in the Civil War. Goodale served in the 21st Michigan Infantry. The events he described occurred between June 24, 1863 and November 24, 1863. The account tells of his experience in battle at Murfreesboro and Chickamauga; how he helped wounded soldiers both on and off the battlefield; and his time as a prisoner and release from Libby Prison. This has been scanned and placed online at http://civilwar.archives.msu.edu/collection/7-1C-20/goodale/.

Note: The copy given to the archives has the last sentence stating, "This account has been copied from the original which was dictated to Dr. Harry Goodale's granddaughter, Lillian Goodale." A more correct statement would be "...was dictated to Dr. Henry Goodale's granddaughter, Lillian Goodale." Henry Goodale's son was known as Harry (born 1886).
