Book Description
In 1998, Andrew Carroll founded the Legacy Project, with the goal of remembering Americans who have served their nation and preserving their letters for posterity. Since then, over 50,000 letters have poured in from around the country. Nearly two hundred of them comprise this amazing collection -- including never-before-published letters that appear in the new afterword. Here are letters from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, the Cold War, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf war, Somalia, and Bosnia -- dramatic eyewitness accounts from the front lines, poignant expressions of love for family and country, insightful reflections on the nature of warfare. Amid the voices of common soldiers, marines, airmen, sailors, nurses, journalists, spies, and chaplains are letters by such legendary figures as Gen. William T. Sherman, Clara Barton, Theodore Roosevelt, Ernie Pyle, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Julia Child, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, and Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Sr. Collected in War Letters, they are an astonishing historical record, a powerful tribute to those who fought, and a celebration of the enduring power of letters.

Author: James Jasper Hartley Publisher: McFarland ISBN: Category : Biography & Autobiography Languages : en Pages : 168
Book Description
Hartley was 36 when he enlisted in 1862, and wrote 89 letters to his wife over the two years before he died in the battle of Cold Harbor. They reveal not only his concerns related to his situation, such as worn-out boots and enemy sharpshooters, but also those related to the farm he had left in her care. His great-grandson, Garber Davidson, edited, annotated, and illustrated them; augmented them from other sources; and commented on them before he died in 1998. Facsimiles of several are appended. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

Book Description
“The well-written and candid letters of a reasonably articulate Southern officer, who paints a lucid picture of everyday life in the Confederate army in a little-known theater... Williams’s letters, personally written and shot through with his sharp sense of humor and folksy artwork, provide an excellent account of a long neglected theater of the American Civil War.” – Western Pennsylvania History
