Red Hot Rain Draft

Red Hot Rain (unpublished), partial draft typescript, RedHotRain_Caine_draft1.docx (Microsoft Word document)

Caine, Rachel

Biographical Information - Articles and Y-Force Casualty List

This folder includes the following:

  • Article written by McMurrey called “San Jacinto County Boys in the Service,” describing the weather and status of the Y-Force in China.
  • Two-page article written by Barbara McMurrey Hyde and Beverly Fae McMurrey giving a family history and history on their father’s life.
  • Y-Force casualty list from January 1, 1944 to October 24, 1944

Diary RESTRICTED

  • Six notebooks or exercise tablets, each measuring 26 x 21 cm.
  • Five of the exercise tablets have red cloth taped binding at the tops, with white machine ruled pages and white paper covers, illustrated with a design which includes the United States flag with 44 gold stars and thirteen stripes on it, aloft against a pale blue sky, with "THE STARS AND STRIPES" in gold letters outlined in red at the top.
  • Since these tablets couldn't have been produced at least until after 1890 when Wyoming became the forty-fourth state in the Union, this copy of the diary had to have been copied out twenty-five years or more after the original entries were made in 1862-1865.
  • The sixth exercise tablet is similar in size, but with green tape binding at the top, a buff-colored cover, and a design incorporating a leaf and vine design in which the words "A COLUMBUS EXERCISE TABLET, PRICE 5 CTS" is divided in the center by a round seal of a sun rising over a tree-surrounded field of harvested wheat sheaves labeled "THE SEAL OF OHIO LINE". Below is an underlined space labeled "Name" and beside it another underlined space labeled "Teacher".
  • All six notebooks have been rubber-stamped in black ink on covers and all pages, probably by a later owner in the twentieth century, with a three-line label: "Civil War Diary of, John Henry Bliler, 1862-1863-1864-1865".
  • Front covers of the notebooks are also inscribed in ink as well, apparently in John Henry Bliler's hand, with a numbering sequence as follows:
    • "no 2 of 7 AND No. 1 of 7"
    • "No 3 OF 7, From November 11, 1863, To May 16 [carat] inclusive 1864"
    • "NO 4 OF 7, From May 17, 1864, To [unclear] 3rd [ditto i.e. 1864] inclusive"
    • "NO 5 OF 7, From October 4, 1864, to November 30 inclusive 1864"
    • "From November 30, 1865 to April 12, 1863 [Note: part of this in pencil to replace information from a torn area on cover], No 6 OF 7"
    • "No 7 OF 7"
  • Pages of the diary are numbered continuously in the lower right corner of each notebook in pencil: 1-9 [i.e. 8], 9, 11-25 [notebook "No 2"]; 26-44 [notebook "No 3"]; 45-64 [notebook "No 4"]; 65-83 [notebook "No 5"]; 84-106 [notebook "No 6"]; 107-123 [notebook "No 7"].
  • The penciled page numbers and a few other notes were probably made by a later owner of the diary, to construct the index which accompanies the photostatic copy of the original pages and the typewritten transcript held in a blue three-ring binder, described in Series 2. The text of the black-inked three-line rubber stamped label on the notebooks' covers and pages match exactly that of the typed label affixed to the front cover of this blue three-ring binder.
  • Each of the first five exercise books is also stamped in blue ink on the cardboard back cover with a three-line label: "From STEIGLER BROS., 520 Central Avenue, HOT SPRINGS, - ARK." Steigler Brothers is a bookstore and may have been the original purveyor of the blank exercise books.
  • Entries written by Bliler are in pencil and black or blue ink. All pages have come apart from the top bindings of the exercise tablets. Some water damage obscures a few entries, and a very few pages have torn edges by which portions of entries have been lost irretrievably, but the handwriting is overall very legible.

Index and Transcript (with a photostatic copy of the diary)

  • All materials are contained in a blue three-ring binder with labels on the front cover and spine "CIVIL WAR DIARY OF JOHN HENRY BLILER", the front label including the sequence of years "1862-1863-1864-1865". Created by previous owners, Roy K. Bliler and his wife, Dixie K. Bliler of Houston, Texas.
  • Single-page index photocopy, titled "INDEX TO CIVIL WAR DIARY [J.H. BLILER]", includes a chart with headings for "DATE [of diary entry], HAND PAGE [handwritten diary page number], TYPE PAGE [typewritten transcript page number], LOCATION [geographical place names]" repeated in three columns. Rubber stamped in black ink on the back twice with three-line name and address: "Roy K. or Dixie A. Bliler, 3213 Heatherwood Drive, Bryan, Texas 77801," with a 7-digit phone number written in ink below the address. Also, an original pencil copy of the index, without title, but with clearer note than the photocopy in the bottom margin for asterisks marked inside some "HAND PAGE" cells, which are keyed to "FIGHTING".
  • Typed transcript photocopy, titled "CIVIL WAR DIARY OF JOHN HENRY BLILER" - 1862-1862-1864-1865 crossed out in ink on page one, but thereafter the year-appropriate to the entries on the page of the transcript is circled in the title, which occurs on each page of John Henry Bliler. The original paper was three-hole punched on the left side of the page, and numbered by hand in the lower left and right corners of each page 1-63, 63 [i.e. 64]-66. Page one is labeled below the title by hand as "Preface," and p. 66 had "THE END" typed at the end of the text in the original copy.
