The author, a native of Baton Rogue, Lousiana, records her experiences as a young lady living in the Confederacy during the War Between the States. The war divided her family when her eldest brother decided to remain loyal to the Union and three of her other brothers accepted positions in the Confederate Army and Navy. Her diary is filled with personal insights and emotion and is one of the more exceptional first-hand accounts of the war years of 1861-1865.

Sarah Morgan Dawson lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at the outbreak of the American Civil War. In March 1862, she began to record her thoughts about the war in a diary-- thoughts about the loss of friends killed in battle and the occupation of her home by Federal troops. Her devotion to the South was unwavering and her emotions real and uncensored. A true classic.   Large, bold print for easy reading.  Adobe pdf format

My mother protested, at once; said that she and her sister Miriam, and several friends, had been witnesses, from the levee, to the fact that the Confederates had fired and abandoned their own ship when the machinery broke down, after two shots had been exchanged: the Federals, cautiously turning the point, had then captured but a smoking hulk."</p>
