Eugene Lindsay Morehead (1845-1889) was a student at the University of North Carolina, a Confederate soldier on the North Carolina coast, and a partner in a bank and a tobacco factory, residing in Greensboro, N.C., and later Durham, N.C. He was married to Lucy Lathrop in 1874. The collection is the irregularly-kept diary, 4 March 1869-31 March 1871, of Eugene Morehead, including brief reminiscences of his antebellum and postwar experiences as a student at the University of North Carolina and of his Confederate service on the North Carolina coast, with entries at intervals describing his experiences as a partner in a bank and a tobacco factory, a law student, and a participant in social events at home and in other towns in North Carolina. Also included are accounts of his travels to the northern United States; to New Orleans, Alabama, and Mississippi; and to the mountains of North Carolina.
