Patrick Casey reflected on his experience serving as a member of the 104th Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry in his autobiography. His chronological detail of events begins with the date of his enlistment in Whitehall Washington County, N. Y. on January 26, 1862 and had originally been meant to continue until the now-unknown time in which Casey had been presently writing; unfortunately, his manuscript abruptly ends 8 months into the narrative on September 15, 1862, mid-sentence, indicating a portion of text is missing. The surviving autobiography, however, reveals a precise account of Casey�s travels from Washington County, N. Y., Alexandria, V. A., to South Mountain, M. D., as he also meticulously recorded the many destinations throughout his journey and the distance between each. With each relocation, Casey stated the date and offered a brief description of the tasks or events that had taken place�for instance, he detailed several occurrences of having come into contact with Confederate soldiers in Virginia. Most notably, he recounted his successful involvement in the Battle of Cedar Mountain, August 09, 1862. Casey�s autobiography effectively revealed the methodical and strategic insight of Union soldiers participating in combat. This manuscript is transcribed true to text, meaning all grammatical errors and misspellings replicate Casey�s original writing.
