A list of all pages that have property "Text"Text" is a predefined property that represents text of arbitrary length and is provided by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Special_properties">Semantic MediaWiki</a>." with value "&lt;p&gt;From an auction listing:  “Includes Civil Diary of H. E. Randell of Co. L, 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; Regiment of the New York Cavalry . . . .   The multi-page hand-written diary gives a highly literate soldier’s accounts of life in the field during the Civil War.  Randell’s entry for February 2, 1864 reads, in part, ‘Played Base Ball nearly all day and experienced a ‘chapter’ of accidents.  Got a severe blow with ball to the face, and a finger almost broken . . . for it is a healthful sport and quite exciting.’  Randell’s reference to being struck by the ball also corroborates the contention that the game, played between New York and Massachusetts regiments, was played under Massachusetts rules.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;From an undated and unidentified auction catalog page accessed 6/26/09 at the Giamatti Center of the Baseball Hall of Fame [Civil War file].  The 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; NY Cavalry formed in the Rochester/Syracuse region of upstate NY, where the old-fashioned game of ball[believed to be like the Massachusetts game] had been played before the War.  The 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; Regiment appears to have been in North Carolina in February 1864.  &lt;strong&gt;Note: &lt;/strong&gt;the diary is listed in the same lot as the trophy ball noted in file CW-140, and the cited diary entry [2/2/64] is the same as is written on that ball.  The two items may be related, but the distance between the two regiments needs to be addressed.&lt;/p&gt;".
