Blue-eyed Child of Fortune: The Civil War Letters of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw edited by Russel Duncan. It's a collection of Shaw's letters to his family beginning April 5, 1861 and ending July 18, 1863 (in fact it looks like the last two letters were literally written just before the 54th spearheaded the assualt on Fort Wagner)
The Civil War Norebook of Daniel Chisholm: A Chronicle of Daily Life in the Union Army 1864-1865 edited by W. Springer Menge and J. August Shimrak. Mr. Menge is the grear-great-grandson of Daniel Chisholm, he and J. August Shimrak put out Chisholm's personal notebook. This is a collection of Chisholm's letter's home along with those of his brother Alex and the diary of Samuel Clear, which compromise the main part of the notebook. All three men served in Company K of the 116th Pennsylvania. In addition to the main part of the notebook there is an appendix which includes listings of the men of Co K., a couple of poems, the obit's of a couple of the men from the company (one being John R. Weltner, the company's captain), portion's of 1st Lt. James Cope's diary (which was loaned to Chisholm by his brother John), and the obit for Chisholm himself (I presume it was added by the editors.
