Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

To Mrs. Lyon

Camp six miles west of Hamburg, Tenn., April 28, 1862.—We are here encamped in a beautiful wood, almost like our openings. Our lines, which are many miles in extent, are being steadily and continuously advanced toward Corinth. Our advance line must be within five or six miles of those of the rebels. They must meet in a few days.
