Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

About this time I went South. I took Clara with me. The winter was quietly spent at Edgefield, without much to narrate. We lived in the same house with Captain and Mrs. Hewitt, and messed together.

A few letters to Father Lyon are all the letters I have for a couple of months, and there is but little in them.
