Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

April 3.—We were nearly all day on the road. Had dinner on the cars, what the men had provided for themselves, about like a soldier’s dinner, something to keep the stomach from getting empty. William met us at the depot. We walked to the camp. They have selected a very pleasant spot about half a mile from the depot, and all the way up hill. I was so glad to get there.
