In a 19 page narrative regarding her experience at Harper’s Ferry, Mary Jane Lee, Lee’s Indian wife, also known as ‘Singing Bird,’ writes, in part: “I have been asked a great many times by some of my friends to write the experience I had at Harpers Ferry in the year 1864. It always seems a very small matter in comparison to the suffering and sorrow there was at that time…I took the train to Harpers Ferry and arrived about 5 o’clock in the morning. Something broke. We were detained…I had been there about a week when there was a rumor that the rebels were going to take Harpers Ferry again…The Potomac river was but a little ways east of Main St…the pickets were firing all night on both sides of the river….” A few pages separated and some trivial brushing to the text, otherwise fine condition.
