Collection Number: A&M 0061
Reminiscences of Hill, a Summersville resident, about central West Virginia, particularly Pocahontas and Nicholas counties, during the Civil War period. Hill narrates a brief overview of his life, beginning with the facts of his childhood in Summersville, West Virginia, in the early 1850s to his marriage in 1869 and the subsequent birth of his children and the operation of their family farm. Hill chiefly describes his memories of the Civil War. He describes their slaves; guerrilla activities; spies; and various Union generals that passed through the area. Hill wrote this six-page narrative in 1939.
