Description: A researcher wrote to me a few months back, seeking to fact check a piece of romantic Civil War hearsay. He had heard of a promise made on the battlefield between two soldiers of Brooklyn’s 14th Regiment at the second battle of Bull Run in August, 1862. Quartermaster Sargeant Alexander Barnie Jr. was said to have vowed to the mortally wounded Lieutenant Josiah M. Grumman to marry and care for Grumman’s wife, Helen L. van Duyne Grumman. The possible key to tracing this story: a slim diary kept by Grumman from 1861 to 1862, now residing in the archives at the Center for Brooklyn History. Pursuing this question lead me through CBH’s archive, digital collections, and map collections, and gave a sense of the two men and their lives before, during, and after the war.
