Description

American history comes to life through the letters of two young farmers serving in the Civil War. A look into the lives of two soldiers that gives you an understanding of the daily activities of men who had to, "fight in the mud and sleep in the mud and eat in the mud and it is nothing but mud."It all starts with some poignant old letters found in an attic that are filled with humor, grief, and longing to see a wife and "sweet child." Samuel C. and Edwin Frank Mitchell served in the Union Army in the eastern and mid-western states during the Civil War. Their letters were sent to and preserved by Samuel's wife, Mary Jane. The brothers served in the 82nd Ohio Volunteers, 8th Indiana Cavalry, and 38th Illinois Infantry. One brother was carried as a deserter by a unit while he fought with another... maybe you can figure it out. A "just the facts," fully annotated, approach is used to trace each unit's movements and battles. The brothers were in the thick of it as Samuel was captured and wounded twice and Edwin rose to the rank of Sargent Major. Transcriptions of the letters are inserted in the timeline of the narrative so you can connect where they were and what they wrote home. The original letters are also reproduced in full color to give you a sense of the character of the correspondents.
