Robert Henry Campbell, letter
May 29, 1861
“There has been a great change since we have been here [Martinsburg]. When we first came, the most of the Citizens were Unionists, a great many of them have changed and become Secessionists. When we came, our flag was the only Secession flag that could be seen. Now you can see them on every street. The Ladies wear them pinned to their dresses.”
