Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

March 5, 1863.—Stayed with Mrs. Hewitt all night. We hardly slept a bit. We were afraid of guerillas. There were strange men all through the camp in the day time. We were afraid they might come again at night. There is but a small guard left here to protect us. No boat yet.
