Description
Eugene Blackford to his mother from Yortown Bivouac, Peneinsula Campaign -- talks of weather at end of letter: vile winds we are now at the end of April, and not one sunny day have we had on this Peninsula, verily the war seems to change the course of nature. It is so cold that I sit over a fire at noon day. Citation: Eugene Blackford Letters, 1862, 1863, Accession #6403-k, Special Collections, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va.
