Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

May 9.—A large party of us started for Nashville. William could not go, it is too bad. We went as far as Clarksville and stayed there all night. We took a long walk all over Clarksville. We went with quite a little fleet, two gunboats in front and one behind. There is danger of the rebels capturing the boats.
