Biography of Mrs. Lydia B. Bacon:
"...an account of her travels, and of the scenes through which she passed during the well-remembered war of 1812. This account, as she states, was made up from letters written at the time to her friends, and extracts from her journal, and commences with the date of her embarkation with the troops for Philadelphia en route for Pittsburgh, whither her husband, as Commissary, had preceded his regiment to prepare for its arrival."
