Biographical History
Sarah Morgan Dawson was a white, Civil War diarist.
She was born Sarah Ida Fowler Morgan, to Thomas Gibbs Morgan (1799-1861) and Sarah Hunt Fowler Morgan (1807-1874), in New Orleans, La. At the outbreak of the Civil War, she moved with her family to Baton Rouge, La., but was forced to return to New Orleans with her widowed mother after her father's death.
She married Frank Warrington Dawson (1840-1889), editor of the Charleston, S.C. News and Courier.
Her diary, written from the age of 19 to just a few years before her death, has been published multiple times. First published in 1913 as A Confederate Girl's Diary, later editions included Sarah Morgan: the Civil War Diary of a Southern Woman and The Civil War Diary of Sarah Morgan.
