Civil War Letters

One of the greatest and bloodiest battles of modern days has just closed, resulting in the complete rout of the enemy, who attacked us at daybreak Sunday morning...The Slaughter on both sides is immense...

--New York Herald, April 9, 1862

  1. Thank you for another informative website. Where else could I get that kind of info written
    in such a perfect means? I have a venture that I'm simply now running on, and I have been on the glance out for such info.

  2. Hi, I just found your blog and love it. So much great information. The letters the soldiers on either side wrote to their loved ones back home remind us how much they had in common with each other. So much of it seems to be replaying itself in our current lives. So sad that we can't learn from our past mistakes.

    Thanks for a great website!
