Diary is an autograph manuscript signed, neatly written in pencil, covering 1 January 1863-15 March 1863. At the end of the book Hannegan includes some accounting pages. Enclosed within the diary is a bookmark depicting an eagle and a shield, with the phrase "Member of the Society of the Army of the Tenn. Cincinnati. Nov. 14th 1866." Also relates news of the Battle of Murfreesboro in his entry for 2 January, in which he has heard the rumor that Confederate General Braxton Bragg was defeated and taken prisoner by Union General William S. Rosecrans.
