There are two addresses listed for Josiah B. Gilbert in the diary, which are Nashville, Tenn, and also in Illinois.
I don't know where he may have been before the war.
The author of the diary, P.A. Bird, was a native of NJ, before moving to Illinois.
Both of these men served in the Corps of Engineers for Illinois.
