1862 April 26 Shady Springs, Va.

[from the diary of Charles Hay of the 23rd Ohio]


                                       Shady Springs, April 26th.
     Marched six miles today, & camped
at this place, a quite pleasant locality.
It was once the site of a sort of village
or way=station for stages to stop at, but
since the war, it has been was burned.
