Diary Of A Southern Refugee During The War

Events in this book include detailed accounts of hospitals and the caring of patients in 1863. The next year the author focuses on "the enemy threatens Richmond, and is coming against it with an immense army." On April 5, 1865, McGuire writes, "I feel as if we are groping in the dark; no one knows what to do. The Yankees, so far, have behaved humanely." The next day, "Mr. Lincoln has visited our devoted city." As the war comes to an end, McGuire writes, "General Johnson surrendered on the 26th of April...my native land good-night!" (May 4, 1865 entry).
