Correspondence discusses crop prices and land-related subjects, a yellow fever epidemic (Oct. 28, 1854), the expense of land and the high cost of living in Georgia, and a large brick-making enterprise. Civil War era letters discuss secession and offer opinions on the secession of South Carolina. Letters of a soldier describe camp life. A soldier in the 23rd Virginia Battalion comments on the storming of a breastworks on June 2, 1864. Other materials include military records: a flyer of the pro-secession 1860 Association of South Carolina; records pertaining to Frank Pringle's membership in a Stokes County patrol company, a captain's commission and muster rolls for the 72nd Regiment, orders to enroll conscripts and to arrest conscript evaders, a list of Peter's Creek township volunteers since February 13, 1862, and an oath of allegiance. Also of interest in the legal papers is a refunding bond for the estate of Allen Pringle. |
