Description

Dr. Buxton begins a historic journey with the 5th Maine Vols., as he accepts capture at the Battle of Bull Run rather than desert the wounded, Confederate and Union alike. After subsequent parole, he participates in several battles, including Cramptons Gap, Antietam and Fredericksburg. Authentic letters by the doctor and family members appear at strategic points in the story, as well as photos, adding a strong pulse of realism. Details of battles, train and stagecoach accidents, powder mill explosions, President Lincoln's assassination and funeral, are some of the many events covered. Son Clifford adds a student's view of life at the Van Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N. Y., and details railroad expansion in the East. The people are real and the author's first person dialogue complements the letters so well, readers soon find themselves engulfed in a way of life that's struggling under the influence of various ethnic, social and political forces far different from any experienced.By resorting to a small amount of fiction, the author is able to bring about a surprise happy ending. This basic story was first published as "Dear Julia," however, this most recent publication incorporates several changes, including additional letters, photos, an index listing those referenced in the letters, and several family histories dating from the mid 1700's.
