Description

 This unique book, at first published in a limited edition in 1982 and out of print for a few years, is essentially the most comprehensive number of Civil War letters written by residents of Southeastern Alabama and Southwestern Georgia to be published. 

Poignant in emotion, informative in detail, and broad in scope, the correspondence contained here provides us with a unique opportunity to take into account the Civil War and its effect on individuals and families from an intensely personal viewpoint. The writers, the great majority of them unlettered and expressing themselves in a disarmingly honest manner of their heartfelt missives, collectively paint a compelling portrait of a watershed moment in national history from a regional standpoint. They make well-known events tangible and lesser-known sidebars illuminating. 

The book is a solidly researched volume that represents a key piece of the historiographical record of the eighteen-county region served by the Historic Chattahoochee Commission. 

Appropriately, this volume reaches Americans as our nation contemplates the Civil War and its affect on American history all through the war’s sesquicentennial anniversary.
