Chiefly letters written home by Paul T. Vaughan, a soldier of the 4th Alabama Regiment, C.S.A., and his diary, 20 p., 4 March-6 November 1863, kept while he was serving in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and eastern Tennessee. Letters describe Fredericksburg, Va., camp life, shortages of clothing, snow, the prospect of Yankees entering Alabama, and his brother's health and release from Camp Douglas. The diary discusses troop movements, pickets, weather, food prices, an explosion in Richmond that killed twelve girls, church news, and how food shortages changed attitudes about foraging.
