Life in Confederate Arkansas: The Diary of Virginia Davis Gray, 1863-1866, Part II
Description
"Virginia wife of the former principal of Princeton Female Academy, busied herself sewing clothes for the soldiers, working as a nurse, attending religious functions, and reading. She wrote about the war in Arkansas and her fear of Federal occupation and expressed a longing for the return of peacetime conditions. The editor says this diary is valuable because of the scarcity of primary sources in Dallas County, which remained under Confederate control until the end of the war."
