Captain Maxson's diary is a series of holodisk notes written by Roger Maxson, the founder of the Brotherhood of Steel.
==Location==
===Fallout===
It can be downloaded from the vats control computer on level 4 of the Mariposa Military Base. The player character cannot actually acquire the holotape item as the contents are entered into the Pip-Boy 2000 directly.
===Fallout 3===
Found on the archive terminal at the Citadel.

==Notes==
* The item description (though never seen by the player) is actually "Maxson's History".
* In the PIP-Boy 2000, this entry is titled "Captain Maxson's Audio Diary".
===Versions===
The PIPBOY.MSG file contains two versions of this holodisk: Captain Maxson's diary, which is the one used in the actual game, and the Military Base disk. The differences are:
* "with all the chaos it brings" instead of "with all the chaos that entails"
* "He said his orders came from the government" instead of "He said his orders came from the Gov't."
* "Jefferson Davis, eat your heart out" instead of "They remember Jefferson Davis. What will history say about me?"
* "A-bombs" instead of "A-Bombs"
* "oversight" and "seceded" instead of "oversite" and "seceeded"
==Behind the scenes==
The phrasing "I can't believe those bastards finally did it. Damn them all to Hell." is a reference to the ending of Planet of the Apes.
