SOLDIERS LETTERS From Camp, Battlefield and Prison. Edited by Lydia Minturn Post. FIRST EDITION Published in 1865 by Bunce & Huntington, New York. 7 x 5 cloth hardcover.

Some wear including rubbing and chipping at corners and spine ends (worn areas have been cosmetically treated to improve overall appearance). Book is firmly bound, clean and complete. No torn, loose or missing pages. SOLDIERS LETTERS is a rare collection of more than 200 actual wartime letters written by Civil War soldiers and sent to family, friends and others from the battlefield, army camps, field hospitals and military prisons. In these messages you will find eyewitness accounts of battles, brushes with death, descriptions of prison confinement, etc. Along with heartfelt expressions of devotion to loved ones back home in some cases, from men who never made it back home, except in a pine box. SOLDIERS LETTERS was published at the request of the U. The United States Sanitary Commission was a private relief agency created by federal legislation on June 18, 1861, to support sick and wounded soldiers of the U. Army during the American Civil War. SOLDIERS' LETTERS contains more than 200 individual letters in total, each providing a fascinating personal glimpse into the conditions endured by Civil War soldiers on the battlefield, in camp and even in the despair of prison. For your convenience, I have personally created an inventory of the letters contained in this rare volume, where possible citing the authors, their location at the time and the date the letter was written. Further down the page, you can see some photos of the book and some of the letters themselves. I hope you will take a moment to have a look.
