Description
This book is one half of a correspondence between a young man named Edwin Weller of the 107th New York Infantry to a young lady in his home town, Antoinette "Nettie" Watkins. Miss Watkins' letters to Mr. Weller did not survive because soldiers in the field had no way to save them, and it was dangerous to keep them. If captured, the information in personal letters could be used against the soldier who had received them. These letters are the record of one Union solder's experience during the Civil War, and in their honesty and feeling capture an event that affected America for generations.
