Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Colonel Lyon’s Letters.

 

Nashville, Tenn., March 31, 1864—We got here, six companies of us, this morning just at daylight. The other four companies, E, K, G and B, were left at Chicago for want of transportation—will probably be here tomorrow. We were on the cars three nights and got but little sleep. I have commenced boarding at Mrs. Morrison’s, in Edgefield.
