This document is an excerpt from “Letters Home to Baughn’s Mountain” transcribed in 1979 by Ellen Flythe Frontis Cross, great-granddaughter of John Henry and Martha Ann Baughn Stone. Some of these letters are heart-wrenching; others are informational, yet all allow the reader to get a sense of what it was like in the camps during the war. The writers are John Henry Stone, who just wants to come home and Martha Ann’s brothers, Robert K., William G., Jeremiah M. (Jerry), John Davidson, and Henry Whitlow Baughn.
