Potts, Eugenia Dunlap

Hide Profile

Biographical note: Eugenia Dunlap Potts, a native of Lancaster, Kentucky, was the daughter of United States Congressman George W. Dunlap. She met her future husband, Dr. Richard Potts, during an 1861 visit to Short Mountain, Arkansas where he was serving in the United States Army. Eugenia returned to Lancaster where she and Dr. Potts were married in September 1861. Because of her husband's loyalty to the Confederacy, Mrs. Potts spent the war years in a variety of cities in Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi where her husband practiced medicine. Following the war, she authored THE SONG OF LANCASTER, A KENTUCKY GIRL IN DIXIE, and many short stories and poems. She was also editor of the magazine, ILLUSTRATED KENTUCKIAN.
