Reminiscences of the Civil War, William and Adelia Lyon

Mrs. Lyon’s Diary.

 

April 20, 1865.—We have had orders to march back to Greenville. It has rained so much and been so unpleasant that I dread to return the way we came. We were in hopes to go back by way of Richmond. We started at 12 o’clock. It is very warm, roads almost impassable. Bade Jonesboro good-bye.
