This was written in a letter during the summer just before the outbreak of Civil War
concerning the dry growing season in Tennessee:
"It still continues hot and dry about Lebanon. The
gardens and fields are burnt up. I expect man and beast to suffer here
for the want of something to eat. It is a gloomy prospect for the
future. Some of our country people have already gone to Illinois to buy
corn and flour anticipating a hard and distressing time of it."
Sam Golladay on 08 Aug 1860 |
