Soldiering in Dixie on Dog River Below Mobile
A Fort Henry correspondent under the pen name Eliza Squiggs letters from Confederate troops near Mobile in January 1862. The missive mocks pay shortages, camp routine, and longing for home while detailing ration scarcity, disease, civilians, and swamp life. The writer blends humor with hardship, notes drinking, the Major, field drills, fate of a fallen brother, and a fanciful Major’s daughter song.
