One of the most remarkable collections of letters to come out of the American Civil War is this compilation by the Woolsey family. Educated, aware, and closely affectionate, the family exchanged and kept letters throughout the war. Included in the set are those from family members serving in hospitals, taking collections for soldiers at home, and a soldier serving on the front lines with Grant, Sheridan, and Meade.What was life like for those who watched their country rent by war? The desperate anxiety and despair of the early war and the hopeful expressions later on give a vivid and very human face to an event that, though long past, is still apart of who we are as Americans today.There is also humor and gossip, and an incredible awareness of what was going on in battles far from home. That the collection includes letters from various family members provides a view into Civil War life as no other.

Nearly blind from an accident in childhood, deaf from complications of scarlet fever, and perpetually suffering from an ankle injury, Emily Parsons nevertheless enrolled in nursing school at the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. Already 37, she never married and made the care of others her fearless purpose in life. Despite her handicaps, she was appointed head of nursing on a large riverboat at Vicksburg during the siege of that city. She was stricken with malaria and sent to New York to recover. Upon recovery, she later headed nursing at the 2,500-bed Benton Barracks Hospital in St. Louis. Her abilities and tenderness with soldiers was remarked upon by many. In this wonderful collection of her letters to family (with an introduction by her father), you'll come to know this remarkable woman. Available for the first time as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers, Emily Elizabeth Parson's great service to others deserves to be read by a new, modern, and wider audience.

"Great anxiety is expressed by all to reach home by the Fourth of July, which at present looks very probable. But, dear Journal, I cannot write, I feel too good." Jenk Jones would make it home on the 3rd of July, 1865. After three long years away from home with the 6th Wisconsin Artillery Battery, his reunion with family was, to him, indescribably joyful. Much had changed but the bonds remained the same. Along the way he'd seen horror and bloodshed, heartbreak, lost friends, and final victory. He was at Vicksburg and other major battles and kept "Mr. Journal" throughout, with the exception of his time in quarantine for smallpox. He recorded the ecstasy of news that Richmond had fallen, followed by Lee's surrender soon after. He writes of the sorrow he and his comrades felt at the news of Lincoln's assassination and how they all felt they'd lost a family member. Frontline diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.

Among the thousands of published Civil War letters, this collection stands out. Oliver Norton served under legendary commanders Strong Vincent (killed at Gettysburg) and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, both of whom he greatly admired."The only wonder is I was not killed, and the wonder grows with each succeeding fight...Yorktown, Hanover, Gaines' Mill, Charles City, Malvern, Bull Run, Antietam, Shepherdstown Ford, Fredericksburg, Richards Ford, Chancellorsville, Loudon Valley, Gettysburg, Manassas Gap, Rappahannock Station and Olustee, to say nothing of the shelling at Harrison's Landing or the skirmish at Ely's Ford."Most of the letters were written to his beloved sister, Liz. Articulate, observant, and with a discerning intellect, Norton wrote of all he saw, sparing nothing to the folks back home. His descriptions of battle are searing and exciting. Some of his observations of camp life and other soldiers were hilariously depicted with biting wit.As the letters progress, a common refrain becomes, "if I ever get home..." But Norton did not despair of the horror and sorrow that he is witness to. He was a committed patriot, sure of his cause.Like many northern boys, his initial impressions of freed slaves is not positive. But he came to respect them highly after leading them in battle as a lieutenant in the United States Colored Troops.Norton survived the war and became prosperous in Chicago, raising a family there.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.

Excerpt from Letters of a Family During the War for the Union 1861-1865, Vol. 1 These few happen to have been saved from a much larger number, which, coming almost daily at times from the brother (Charles), at the Headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, and the sisters in Hospital service, were carefully filed by the eldest sister, Abby, in orderly succession, and, when the home was broken up, were stored in the Morrell warehouse in New York. There, later, with all our Mother's household possessions, they were destroyed by fire, to the deep and lasting regret of all who knew the writers and the times they had passed through. Dr. Prentiss, our long-time friend and pastor, writes: "The destruction of Charley's letters from the front in the Morrell fire was an irreparable loss, and gave me, I remember, a real shock, for I knew how precious they would have been, sooner or later, not in your family history only, but in the inner personal history of the war."
