_______________
A few years back, the Caswell County Historical Association was offered a Civil-War-era musket purportedly owned by Caswell County Civil War soldier Bartlett Yancey Malone (1839-1890). The seller was Malone's second-great grandson. The musket was described as:
"Palmetto Arms musket that Bartlett Yancey Malone brought home with him when he was paroled at Point Lookout, Maryland, in February 1865. The Palmetto Arms muskets were ordered in or about 1850 by South Carolina for the militia. All were dated 1852. When the War for Southern Independence broke out they were put into Confederate service. Were made by William Glaze in South Carolina."
Due to the incomplete documentation and the $10,000 price, the CCHA passed on the gun. Had the documentation been unassailable, a way would have been found to secure the weapon for the Richmond-Miles History Museum in Yanceyville, North Carolina. The CCHA would have sought sponsors to assist in obtaining the musket.

Diary of Bartlett Yancey Malone
_______________
"The Prison Diary of Bartlett Yancey Malone" by Professor Camille Norton was among 75 poems chosen for inclusion in "The Best American Poetry 2010," an anthology in its 23rd year of publication.
_______________
"Mrs. Herbert E. Wilkinson's (daughter of Bartlett Yancey Malone) recollections of her father, based upon childhood's deep affection, were stated with careful moderation. Her estimates of her father might be summarized as those of a man of simple tastes, of unassuming manners, and of good humor. She remarked that he always enjoyed jokes and even told those which were at his expense. She remembered a story that on his arrival at home after four years of war-time experiences on that day of March 5, 1865, he greeted his family laid down his gun, and disposed of his meager luggage, saying that he would now go to see his sweetheart. This was Mary Frances Compton, who lived nearby. He was to marry Miss Compton on November 15, 1866. I gathered that, after some house construction, Mr. Malone established himself as a farmer and head of a family which eventually numbered ten children. This family resided about four miles from Prospect Hill, Caswell County, in a rural community known as Hyco Creek -- a stream that flowed past his home. The post office was Corbett. Malone's life here was quietly uneventful and happy. To him, the war was over, and he rarely talked about it. In later life, he developed tuberculosis, which his family attributed in its beginnings to the exposure he suffered at Point Lookout. He died May 4, 1890."

"Bartlett Yancey Malone was a Civil War Veteran and author of a diary published by the University of North Carolina Press. He participated in most of the great battles. He tells important stories of the war. He had a conviction of sincerity, a very brave man, with no complaints. He had a job to do and did it, with a compulsion to write about it."

Note the following from When the Past Refused to Die: A History of Caswell County North Carolina 1777-1977, William S. Powell (1977) at 201:
Sergeant Bartlett Yancey Malone from the Hyco Creek community of southeastern Caswell County enlisted in this company [Company H, Sixth Regiment, North Carolina State Troops, initially called the "Caswell Boys"] of June 6, 1861, when he was 22. He kept a diary or journal that he began in December and continued until March, 1865, in which he recorded in a matter of fact fashion interesting but often routine daily events. He was in a Union prison at Point Lookout, Maryland, in 1863 when this entry was written: "The 25th was Christmas day and it was clear and cool and I was boath coal and hungry all day onley got a peace of Bread and a cup of coffee for Breakfast and a small Slice of Meat and a cup of Soop and five Crackers for Dinner and Supper I had non:" Malone's journal is owned by his descendants, but it was published in Chapel Hill in 1919 as "The Diary of Bartlett Yancey Malone" in the James Sprunt Historical Publications. Vol. 16, No. 2, and again in 1960 as Whipt 'em Everytime by the McCowat-Mercer Press, Inc., Jackson, Tennessee.
_______________
This is a Confederate diary of a North Carolina farmer who participated in most of the great battles and campaigns in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. Malone’s diary is highly readable and tells an important story of the war. He reveals, with much quaintness of expression, the thoughts of a simple soldier of the ranks - the thoughts; it is to be presumed, of a mass of men who have been considered inarticulate. There is frankness in Malone’s semi-literate diary that carries a conviction of sincerity. There is lack of emotion. There is an absence of bitterness and of complaint. Perhaps the most conspicuously absent feature is that of any statement of the Southern Cause for which he was fighting. Malone is chiefly concerned with his job of being a soldier and there is no rancor in his pages. He is not trying to sell anything to anybody.

The Diary of Bartlett Yancey Malone
Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina, 1919.
Bartlett Yancey Malone was born in Caswell County, North Carolina in 1838. In 1861, when he was twenty-three, he left farming to enter the Civil War. He fought with the 6th North Carolina regiment throughout Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, rising in the ranks from private to sergeant. On November 7, 1863 he was captured by the Union Army and imprisoned at Point Lookout, Maryland, where he remained until February 24, 1865. The University of North Carolina published his journal posthumously, with a preface by its editor, William Whatley Pierson, Jr., in 1919.
The Diary of Bartlett Yancey Malone offers readers the voice of one Confederate soldier among the thousands whose experiences and impressions have gone unheard. Reported in a simple and matter-of-fact manner, the diary begins, its editor notes, as a weather report catalogued by an experienced farmer transplanted abruptly from cornfield to battlefield. Many of the daily accounts in the first half of the journal contain descriptive phrases about the weather. However, as Malone grows as a soldier, so do the length, depth, and content of his entries. His persistent journal habits include notations on his diet, his regiment's marches, and biblical texts referred to in the sermons he hears. Interestingly, his rudimentary spelling throughout the diary gives way to more formal prose in the few sentimental poems he includes and likely composed. Of particular interest to scholars is Malone's account of his time in prison at Point Lookout, which offers a glimpse into the hardships Confederate soldiers endured in Northern prisons. Malone ends his diary upon his return home to Caswell County in March 1865.
The Bartlett Yancey Malone diary also was published in the book titled Whipt 'Em Everytime: The Diary of Bartlett Yancey Malone, Co. H 6th N.C. Regiment.
"The diary was written in compact and generally legible script and recorded in three pocket-sized booklets (3 9/16 x 5 9/16), similar to those in which addresses, business accounts, and casual notations are ordinarily entered. One of them, the thickest, was leather bound; the other two were paper bound. The first had apparently been sent home before the termination of the war for 'the benefit of is folks.' On the fly leaf of it, in a handwriting other than Malone's, are the words: 'Money could not buy this book, though it may appear insignificant to any but indulgent parents and fond brothers and sisters.' In the last booklet, some entries and accounts were written after Malone's return. One set of these entries, recorded without date, was entitled 'Malones Dictionary.' Since it has some elements of curiosity, it is produced in full in the Appendix."
