Lewis Powell

Quote:Did you ever read a book by Amanda Edmonds? She was a young lady that lived in Paris, Va, when Powell was hiding out in that region. Apparently, he lived with DR. Paine, a relative of hers. If you are interested, I will hunt up my copy. (t might be faster to try Interlibrary loan) I got it from the family that was living in her house.
Whatever, let me know and I'll start looking.
PS. I think the book is "A lass in the Confederacy", or "A lass in Mosby's Confederacy". Very close to that.

John - Oh, yes! And I was good friends with the author, Nancy Chappelear Baird. I've been up to her house in Delaplane, Virginia. Wonderful lady. She is now deceased. The book is grand and I don't doubt that Miss Amanda probably more or less knew Powell, although she does not mention him in her book; but does mention the Payne family in depth.
