P.D. Stephenson papers, 1862-1903.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122505659

A diary (Apr. 11-Aug. 31, 1862) records Stephenson's experiences during the Union invasion and occupation of Huntsville, Alabama. It describes the treatment of civilians by occupation forces and the public reaction to occupation. The diary contains clippings, poetry, scrapbook materials, and ephemera related to the Civil War. Stephenson's memoirs chiefly relate his experiences as a private in the Confederate army (1861-1865), and are based on diaries he kept during the war and letters he wrote to his family. He describes the defense and evacuation of Corinth, Mississippi; the Chattanooga campaign; the Dalton campaign; and the battles of Atlanta, Franklin, Nashville, and Mobile. Comments on officers and men of the Confederate forces, camp life, Southern civilian patriotism and suffering, and the medical treatment of wounded and ill soldiers are also provided. Included are photographs of Stephenson and a photocopy of printed reminiscences of Jennie Friend Stephenson, P. D. Stephenson's wife, which contains her comments on plantation life and experiences during the Civil War.
