Emma Holmes

}}

Emma Edwards Holmes (December 17, 1838 in Charleston, South Carolina – January 21, 1910 in Charleston, South Carolina) was a resident of South Carolina who kept a diary during the American Civil War. This document has since been published as ''The Diary of Miss Emma Holmes, 1861-1866'' by the Louisiana University Press. It is thought to be a historically significant document due to Emma's in-depth accounting of events occurring during the American Civil War. Provided by Wikipedia
