An Irishman's Letter And Forbearance From the South
A Burlington Weekly Hawk Eye excerpt presents an Irishman’s rhymed letter from the 25th Massachusetts during Burnside’s expedition. It mix es humor with battlefield boasts of Roanoke Island and New Bern, plus a long satire on Kentucky conservatism and a Paris stop. Wraps with a verbose epistolary comic travelogue and letters from the Front about camp life and officers.
