exempted Southerners.
Sam Smyth, a Union lieutenant
fighting in the mud of the Civil
War at Holly Springs. Mississippi,
made this notation in his journal:
“Happy New Year to all the
world, except our Southern Rebel
friends, their aiders and abettors
»>
Obviously, the entry was made
at a time when things were going
badly for the North. The entry
continued: . . .” though to speak
truly 1 think the prospect is not
such as to warrant and in even
hoping that the wish (of a Happy
New Year) may be fulfilled . . .
I had hoped to see a ditlerent state
of things, and that we should
enter upon the New Year with the
bright prospect of a speedy ter
mination of this exhausting con
flict.”
The journal, with human and
personalized descriptions of the
Civil War, is among the collection
of Lincolniana and Civil War ma
terials in the Wyles Collection at
Santa Barbara, Calif., College.
