James Trooper Armstrong papers, 1832-1891.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/25968152

Chiefly letters from Armstrong at Woodstock Plantation, Jefferson County, Ark., to Matilda at Nashville, Tenn., 1850 through 1852, and while he served in the Confederate Army, 1861 to 1865, primarily in Arkansas. The earlier letters contain mostly personal news, including reports of the well-being of friends and relatives, daily activities, and comments on places visited. The Civil War letters describe Armstrong's experiences as an officer in the 9th Arkansas Regiment, and as an ordnance officer on the staff of Major James Fleming Fagan. Also included are post-war family letters to Matilda at Columbus, Miss., until her husband's death in 1873, and afterwards at Abilene, Tex., where she lived with her son Robert.
