Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

 

March 27.—We took the train yesterday towards night, the road having been repaired. Today we got to Knoxville. We found orders that they were to guard and conduct a train of ambulances across the country, and the men were to march. I expected to go back from Knoxville, but William says that I shall not go home, but go as far as they go with the train, for there is plenty of ambulance room. We went ten miles on a fearful road over the mountains.
