Cornela Peake McDonald (1822 - 1909)[2] was the author of A Diary with Reminescences of the War and Refugee Life in the Shenandoah Valley, 1860-1865 in which she recaps her life as a woman living in Winchester, Virginia. Her writing is significant as it recaps the views of the civil war from the point of a view of a woman living in one of the most most counteroccupied towns of the civil war. [2]
