Transcript of the Civil War Diary, 1861-1866, of Kate S. (Sarah Catherine) Sperry.
Diary, begun shortly after the start of the Civil War, gives an almost daily account of the activities of Confederate and Union forces in and around Winchester, Virginia.
Describes daily life, and contains references to the activities of Belle Boyd and General Philip H. Sheridan's courtship of the writer's aunt, Mary Warden Sperry.
"Aunt Wardy", as she was called, was pursued by General Sheridan, but felt she could not reciprocate for fear of being ostracized.
Diary also contains references to families from Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Virginia, such as Chrisman, Hunt, Sperry, Van Lear, and Warden.
This item is a copy of a typescript compiled by Lenoir Hunt in 1941.
