by Nina Silber (Author), Mary Beth Sievens (Author)

These letters by New England soldiers and their families, many published for the first time, speak of the hardships of the war, especially frustrations with the army, homefront suffering, and government policies. They are grouped by six major themes: the military experience, the meaning of the war, views of the South, politics on the home front, the personal sacrifices of war, and the correspondence of one New England family.

Back Jacket

The letters in this book present a range of views from a variety of social and occupation strata on race, politics, and other matters and reveal the growing differences between New England and the rest of the country.
