520 William Henry Harrison Clayton was one of nearly 75,000
soldiers from Iowa to join the Union ranks during the
Civil War. Possessing a high school education and superior
penmanship, Clayton served as a company clerk in the 19th
Infantry, witnessing battles in the Trans-Mississippi
theater. His diary and his correspondence with his family
in Van Buren County form a unique narrative of the day-to-
day soldier life as well as an eyewitness account of
critical battles and a prisoner-of-war camp. Clayton
participated in the siege of Vicksburg and took part in
operations against Mobile, but his writings are unique for
the descriptions he gives of lesser-known but pivotal
battles of the Civil War in the West. Fighting in the
Battle of Prairie Grove, the 19th Infantry sustained the
highest casualties of any federal regiment on the field.
Clayton survived that battle with only minor injuries, but
he was later captured at the Battle of Stirling's
Plantation and served a period of ten months in captivity
at Camp Ford, Texas. Clayton's writing reveals the
complicated sympathies and prejudices prevalent among
Union soldiers and civilians of that period in the
country's history. He observes with great sadness the
brutal effects of war on the South, sympathizing with the
plight of refugees and lamenting the destruction of
property. He excoriates draft evaders and Copperheads back
home, conveying the intra-sectional acrimony wrought by
civil war. Finally, his racist views toward blacks
demonstrate a common but ironic attitude among Union
soldiers whose efforts helped lead to the abolition of
slavery in the United States.
