Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

April 2.—Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, Mr. and Mrs. Moulton and I went to the cemetery. Mr. Pierce is a very strong Union man. When we got there he was not afraid to express himself. He would like to get away from here.

The Adjutant went yesterday to Bull’s Gap to help with the month’s report. He has returned today. William sent for me to go up there to see him again. They do not know how long they may stay there. Mrs. Moulton and Minerva will have to go on a wagon with the trunks. They have made up a train with a pony engine and one box car, and that is all there is to use this side of the break in the road. They are not willing to take passengers, but decided that they would take the Adjutant and me.
