Title

How it Was: Four Years Among the Rebels

Description

“This is a trustworthy account which does not attempt to record minute details, conversations, and exact dates. Mrs. Irby Morgan was married to a brother of General John H. Morgan and was living in Nashville when the war broke out. Morgan left Nashville before the Federal troops arrived, going first to Fayetteville and Shelbyville and then to Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga. She later retreated to Marietta, Georgia, remained there until Sherman headed for Atlanta, and removed to the Sand Hills near Augusta. During this time Mrs. Morgan made herself useful in hospital work and, while living in the Sand Hills, her children worked in the Augusta Arsenal, making cartridges. The narrative is a valuable and vivid record of a wartime refugee's experiences.”
