Chamberlin kept an account of his daily activities and the actions of his Regiment while statione din Winchester, VA (April 1863-Sept. 1863). He was involved in Court Martial proceedings and chronicled the judgments. When Capt. Chamberlin was killed at the Second Battle of Winchester, the diary was “Presented by Capt. E.
