Collection of Civil War letters/Civilian Diary

Item Details

Description

Seven letters mostly from the 7th NH Regiment ( Florida/ SC) and another NH regiment in the Peninsular Campaign. Letters are full of content--some naive at the beginning-" I wish I was in a bayonet charge". Discussion of Battle of . Malvern Hill, a Request for funds to buy a uniform, promotion of General Hooker, and "the Col. acted cowardly at Bull Run" and " all the Rebel troops did not wear uniforms at all but had to furnish their own clothing". The civilian diary (1863) had political connections to NH politicians.
