Letters from the Civil War

When he wasn't marching, fighting, or setting up camp, the Civil War soldier might take a few moments to write to his loved ones at home. These letters often contain accounts of battles, life in camp, and general news. But many soldiers, as they marched off to face the enemy, had left behind a wife or sweetheart, and to them they would compose sweet, poignant, and occasionally funny letters that give life and personality to the participants in this great national conflict

There are hundreds of letters written by soldiers, generals etc during the Civil War. But the ones below are generally the more interesting and credible ones. You provide a deeper insight of the situation during the Civil War.
