Abstract | Cadwallader Jones (born 1843) was a Confederate captain who served with the Army of Northern Virginia. The collection is chiefly Civil War correspondence between Jones and friends and relatives (members of the Jones family and Iredell family) at the family plantation near Rock Hill, S.C., in Greensboro, Ala., and Hillsborough, N.C. Topics discussed include camp life; skirmishes and battles in Virginia; the defense of Charleston, S.C.; public reactions (especially of female correspondents) to war news; economic and social conditions on the home front; North Carolina politics during the war; and the deaths of family members. Earlier items include a letter, 1847, to Annie Isabella (Iredell) Jones from her mother, wife of North Carolina governor James Iredell; and letters to Cadwallader Jones, 1859-1860, in Rock Hill. Later items, chiefly 1922-1925, include a letter, 1866, in which A. C. Jones writes of the situation of the southern planter and the beginning of the sharecropping system. Also included are Cadwallader Jones's reminiscences of his Confederate service. |
