Minor , born April 13, 1833,\n was the youngest child of \n Samuel Overton Minor ( -August 30, 1838)\n and \n Lydia Laurie (Lewis) Minor (February 15,\n 1795-August 8, 1833). After her parents' deaths, \n Louisa Minor was raised by her mother's\n sister, \n Mary Walker (Lewis) Leitch Anderson (March\n 25, 1793-June 21, 1872) of \"Pant-Ops,\" \n Albemarle County . Throughout the diary, \n Mary Walker Anderson and \n David Anderson are referred to as \"Ma\" and\n \"Daddy.\"","Louisa Minor 's diary, ca. 350 pages, kept\n from September 1, 1855 to December 29, 1866, reveals her\n personal feelings as well as both routine and extraordinary\n events in the lives of herself and her family and friends. She\n often writes about her weekly activities, especially church\n attendance and social interactions with relatives and friends.\n References to her family and friends often concern marriages,\n births, illnesses, deaths, visits, and \n Louisa Minor 's impressions about\n individuals and the events in their lives. She also writes her\n own poetry, quotes verses of others, and records her thoughts\n on books she read and church sermons she heard.","There are frequent references to members of the \n Minor family , especially \n Louisa Minor 's brothers and sisters and\n their families. While \n Louisa Minor was still a small child, her\n father and several offspring migrated to \n Missouri , while others, including \n Louisa Minor , remained in \n Virginia . During the period of the diary,\n the following siblings were living: \n Mary Overton Minor (December 4, 1812-), \n Garritt Minor (November 15, 1815-), \n William Woolfolk Minor (March 10, 1817-May\n 3, 1885), \n James Hunter Minor (November 15,\n 1818-April 12, 1862), \n Samuel Overton Minor (May 12, 1820-March\n 24, 1880), \n Nicholas Peter Minor (August 25, 1822-), \n Bettie Lewis Minor (September 12, 1825-),\n and \n Sallie Watson Minor (January 3, 1829-March\n 1873). There are also references to more distant relatives as\n well as friends of the \n Anderson family , \n Carr family , \n Davis family , \n Gilmer family , \n Leitch family , \n Lewis family , \n Macmurdo family , \n Meriwether family , \n Minor family , \n Randolph family and \n Terrell family .","Louisa Minor was quite religious, often\n attending church several times a week, and visiting churches\n of different denominations, including \n Grace Church , the \" \n Brick Church , \" \n the University \"Chapel\" (held at this time\n in a room in the wing of the \n Rotunda ), \n St. Paul's Church , \n the \"Monumental\" Church , and an \n \"African\" Church in \n Richmond . She heard some of the prominent\n clergymen of the time such as \n Ebenezer Boyden , \n John Albert Broadus , \n Dabney Carr Davis , \n Richard Terrell Davis , \n Richard Kidder Meade , \n Bishop William Meade , Liberian Bishop \n John S. Payne , and \n Joseph Pere Bell Wilmer .","There are references to and some descriptions of places\n visited and events attended, including the \n Virginia State Fair in \n Richmond in 1857 and again in 1860. \n Louisa Minor often visited the nearby\n estates of family and friends-- \n Castalia , \n Cloverfields , \n Kinloch , \n Locust Hill , \n Music Hall , \n Orange Dale --relating occurrences at\n them. There are mentions of the funeral of the artist \n John Toole (March 1860), the annual\n celebrations of the \n Jefferson Society and the \n Washington [Literary] Society at the \n University of Virginia as well as other\n events at the University. Information on \n Charlottesville is found throughout the\n diary.","Prior to the beginning of the Civil War references to\n blacks included news of freed servants sailing from \n Norfolk to \n Africa (December 1856), and later accounts\n of many of their deaths while en route (April 1857). Also\n during this time there was much political discussion and talk\n of insurrections generally (December 1856) and of\n insubordination among the servants at \n Music Hall (August 1857). \n Louisa Minor 's feelings toward the\n uprisings was probably indicative of the way the Southerners\n felt during this time. She often referred to the closeness of\n the family and the servants, and seemed to have no\n understanding of any rebelliousness. This lack of\n understanding seems evident in December 1865 when she wrote\n that the \"freedmen seem to be having all the fun and goodies.\"\n She wrote of their changing status, their unwillingness to\n attend to the family's wants, and their still receiving daily\n allowances--all with the belief that they had been treated\n fairly (December 1865).","During the Civil War, \n Louisa Minor wrote about occurrences in\n more detail, although much of the news was indirect, through\n hearsay or letters.

She mentions that when \n Stonewall Jackson 's troops marched\n through in June 1862, she spent the whole day feeding\n soldiers, gave up her bed at night, and was paid a visit in\n the parlor by General \n Richard Ewell , \"a funny old\n fellow...[with] the simplicity and heart of a child...\". She\n also reports on a Christmas dinner given to over 1200 soldiers\n at the \n Delevan Hospital , \n Charlottesville , and Custer's\n diversionary raid on Rio Hill on February 29, 1864. As time\n progressed, the effects of the war became personally evident\n to \n Louisa Minor as more and more of her\n family and friends and the surrounding area were affected.\n During late 1864,and early 1865, \n Charlottesville was more involved in the\n war, with Yankee raids and destruction of property. \n Louisa Minor gives a fairly full account\n of Federal troops passing through \n Albemarle County in March 1865, and\n describes the hardships of the first year of\n Reconstruction.","Also included is a bequest, April 23, 1871, of \n Mary Walker (Lewis) Anderson leaving her\n table furniture, two feather beds and a trundle bed with bed\n clothes, \"wearing clothes,\" tin ware, and all personal\n property and money due her to \n Louisa Minor ."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eSee the \n \u003cextref type=\"simple\" href=\"https://www.library.virginia.edu/policies/use-of-materials\"\u003e\n University of Virginia Library’s use policy.\u003c/extref\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"],"userestrict_heading_ssm":["Use Restrictions"],"userestrict_tesim":["See the \n \n University of Virginia Library’s use policy."],"physloc_html_tesm":["\u003cphysloc/\u003e"],"physloc_tesim":[""],"names_ssim":["University of Virginia.

They had a son, Frank (b. ca. 1894), and a daughter, Edith (b. February 23, 1901). Edith married James A. Lett on September 11, 1920.

Cook wrote several books on the history of Lewis County and biographies of Stonewall Jackson and Alexander Scott Withers, and contributed historical articles to a wide variety of publications. He also collected Civil War and early West Virginia documents and memorabilia.","The 31st Virginia Volunteer Infantry Regiment was formed in the early weeks of the Civil War when Confederate General Robert E. Lee ordered the recruitment of troops to protect railroad lines running through western Virginia's northern counties. On May 4, Lee appointed Colonel George Porterfield to assume command of these forces, which were being raised primarily in Taylor, Marion, Harrison, Monongalia, and Barbour Counties. In the next few weeks, these new recruits found themselves in the war's first arena, a tactical struggle for control of the Confederacy's northwestern flank--the hills, rails, and rivers of what would soon become the nation's 35th state, West Virginia.","\nComposed of some of the war's earliest recruits, the 31st Virginia Infantry would see action under General Garnett, William L. \"Mudwall\" Jackson, Jones and Imboden, Stonewall Jackson, Jubal Early, and many more legendary Confederate commanders, at battles including Corrick's Ford, Cross Keys, Cold Harbor, Gettysburg, New Market, and others. Approximately 57 of the 850 men who joined the regiment in 1861 witnessed Lee's surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865.","\nA detailed history of the 31st Virginia by James Dell Cooke is available online. Researchers are also referred to John M. Ashcraft's '31st Virginia Infantry' (Lynchburg, Va.: H.E.

In the next few weeks, these new recruits found themselves in the war's first arena, a tactical struggle for control of the Confederacy's northwestern flank--the hills, rails, and rivers of what would soon become the nation's 35th state, West Virginia.","\nComposed of some of the war's earliest recruits, the 31st Virginia Infantry would see action under General Garnett, William L. \"Mudwall\" Jackson, Jones and Imboden, Stonewall Jackson, Jubal Early, and many more legendary Confederate commanders, at battles including Corrick's Ford, Cross Keys, Cold Harbor, Gettysburg, New Market, and others.
