From DCHS Archives
We often hear about the war experience through the eyes of the soldier. But in this case, through a daily diary written during the way, we learn about a woman in Poughkeepsie who reads the news in anticipation of its ending, so she can return home. She describes scenes in Poughkeepsie of Black men, women and children who have escaped from the south.
