1Title:  George E. Dunbar Diary     
 Creator:  Dunbar, George E. 
 Dates:  1862-1864 
 Abstract:  George E. Dunbar, a farm laborer from Newburgh, Ohio, enlisted in Company B, Second Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, at Camp Wade in Cleveland, Ohio, in August 1861. Trained at Camp Dennison, Ohio, his company left for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in January 1862, Dunbar having been appointed sergeant and later quartermaster sergeant. While the regiment was defending the Kansas and Missouri borders during the Civil War, Dunbar became ill and was discharged on October 2, 1862, returning after a lengthy journey home via wagon and train to Newburgh. The collection consists of a single volume containing a chronicle of Dunbar's service in Company B, Second Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, from January to October 1862, and an anonymous entry, dated February 29, 1864, concerning a business trip to Cleveland.
