We often learn about live during the Civil War from the soldier's perspective, but what about the home front? Proceedings XXIX is the transcribed, personal diary of Sigismunda Stribling Kimball from October 14, 1861 - April 29th, 1863. Her writings capture what life was like in Clarke County and surrounding environs from the perspective of a woman who's husband was off at war. At times deeply personal, this is a must read for anyone interested in every day life during the Civil War.
