Fragmented Civil War Letter Mixes Plans and Battles
A long, garbled wartime letter discusses General McClellan and a “great plan” guiding Union strategy, critiques delays and blockades, details a train wreck escort for Confederate bodies, and includes battlefield observations, troop movements, and calls for decisive action. It references Burnside, Fremont, Hunter, and Lincoln, plus troop morale notes and local guard movements.
