Serving With Honor The Diary of Captain Eathan Allen Pinnell
|
When the war began, Pinnell enlisted in Company F, Third Missouri Cavalry, Missouri State Guard (probably the Seventh Division). Rising to the rank of sergeant, Pinnell left the Guard after his six month term of service had expired. He joined the regular Confederate Army in August 1862, helping to organize what would become Company D, Eighth Missouri Infantry. Pinnell’s diary, in which he made scrupulously regular entries, covers the period of time he served in the Confederate Army from August 1862 to June 1865. Though he participated in only three battles (Prairie Grove, Pleasant Hill, and Jenkins’ Ferry), Pinnell’s diary is probably one of the most thorough recollections of Confederate Service west of the Mississippi River. Captain Pinnell presents vivid accounts of battlefield actions, camp life, and opinions of the war, particularly on how the war should have been conducted.
