Scope and Contents
Valleau, who was a private in the 23rd Ohio Infantry, recounts being "sun struck" while marching in Sheridan's Shenandoah Valley Campaign and rescued by Waste and Charly Bliss; the three spent the night in an empty log cabin after being unable to find their regiment. Valleau, still sick, was left in the care of an elderly couple the following day. [Research indicates that William Waste and Charles Bliss were indeed in Valleau's regiment.]
