About This Item
[Civil War] Three Union Civil War Letters. [Circa 1861-63] Two home front letters, one with a colorful Union letter head; one mentioning the draft; with a letter from a soldier at Fort Scott about the death of his former girlfriend.
The first letter has a colorful letterhead The Young Volunteer "Bully for You" depicting a soldier with saber, in front of a canon with an American Flag. Weston [Mass.?] August 6, 1861. News of home, travel. The second letter is from a young woman on a farm to her Aunt. She discusses the draft, so probably 1863. She is happy her Uncle was not drafted. She also notes "they have not drafted here yet. They will in a few days. They have been waiting until they get the wheat threshed." The third letter is from a soldier at Fort Scott, Virginia to his mother. It has the envelope postmarked Alexandria Virginia Aug. 4, 1863. He explains he tried to get a furlough to come home, apparently because his former girlfriend died, but messed up the paperwork. Interesting group about life on the home front during the War.Reviews
