Watson's Civil War journal documents the operations of the 47th Virginia Cavalry Battalion (part of "Jackson's Brigade") from 2 June to 25 December 1864. The journal provides cursory descriptions of Confederate General Jubal A. Early's 1864 raid on Washington, D.C., as well as details of other raids, food shortages, skirmishes, the weather, picket duty, and "Yankee pillaging and burning." Watson also composed several notes and letters to his "sweetheart." Also included is a transcription of the journal.
