Richard C. Shannon Diary, 5th Maine Regiment
Richard Cutts Shannon (Colby, 1862) had a rich and interesting life. He served in the Civil War, traveled to Brazil and China, attended law school at age 44, served in the diplomatic core, and was a congressman from New York’s 13th District. His war experiences and later life were recorded in a series of diaries, as well as summarized in unpublished reminiscences written in 1920. After the firing on Fort Sumter in 1861, Shannon enlisted in Company “H” of the 5th Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry. He was made an aide-de-camp for General Slocum in March 1862 and was taken prisoner at Chancellorsville in May 1863. Shannon spent 18 days in Libby Prison in Richmond and recorded his diary entries on blank leaves of a book. He was honorably discharged in 1866 and received the brevets of Major and Lieutenant Colonel in 1867.
