Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

May 12.—Had a great time last night. Had to change boats and took the Prairie Maid. Had several hours this morning and went into the city. Called on the Chief of Ordinance, Captain Townsend. Went back to the boat after strolling around all we wanted to, and started for Fort Donelson. Got to Clarksville and went into the city to the college, now used for a hospital.
