Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

From Mrs. Lyon’s Diary

Jan. 18, 1862.—It rained all day the 14th and to the 16th, when it turned to snow. The snow is eighteen inches deep, but I do not think it will last. It is not cold. The river is high and rising fast. Our camp is on an elevation above high-water mark.
