Samuel J. C. Moore papers, 1847-1939.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31908539

Chiefly of correspondence, 1861-1865, of Samuel J. C. Moore and Ellen Moore while he served as an officer in the 2nd Virginia Infantry Regiment with Stonewall Jackson and, later, as adjutant to Jubal Early. Samuel wrote very detailed letters that include observations on military life; detailed descriptions of battles, including First Manassas, Cedar Mountain, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville; comments on the leadership abilities and personalities of Jackson and Early; and a description of Samuel's own capture at Cedar Creek and escape to Richmond. Ellen's equally detailed letters tell of conditions in Berryville and activities of family members and neighbors. There are also a few muster rolls for the 2nd Regiment Virginia Volunteers and several speeches and reminiscences relating to the Civil War era that were written by Samuel, his son Samuel Scolley Moore, and others in the 1880s and 1890s. There are also a few items from the 1840s and 1850s, including Samuel J. C. Moore's 1847 law license.
