Carlisle Sentinel, “Theodore M. Johnson Tells of Civil War Days in Carlisle”

In a June 1924 article from the Carlisle Sentinel, Theodore Johnson describes his experiences during the Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania in June 1863. Johnson was the son of Dickinson College President Herman M. Johnson and lived in a section of East College. As a young boy Theodore witnessed the confederate invasion of Carlisle by Rodes Division of Ewell's Corps as well as the shelling of the town several days later by J.E.B. Stuart's Cavalry Corps. Theodore Johnson later attended Dickinson with the Class of 1873.
