Father had written and mailed a let

western section of the city, out Of the
range Of Gillmore's shells. Grass and
weeds filled all the streets, and to
walk along those silent thoroughfares
was like travesing a city Of the dead
Every few minutes there would be
deep boom, followed by the shrek Of
the falling shell, a crash as the heavy
missile struck house or pavement, and
tremendous detonation as the shell
exploded, carrying destruction in it's
wake. The yards and gardens In the
summer Of 1864 were full of fruit
figs. grapes and peaches, and the ca
