Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

April 5.—We marched through to Greenville, 19 miles. I was the only lady from the 13th. We started off behind balky mules. They ran down every hill, and would not go up the hills. They finally ran off a bridge at the bottom of a hill. Colonel McConnell came to my rescue and I then rode with Mrs. Moody in a pleasant ambulance with the 2d Division. Got to camp and put up the tent to stay. We think we will get a good rest here.
