Letters Of Whitmans Brother Remind Of War
George Washington Whitman, less lyrical than Walt, wrote Civil War letters full of vivid battlefield scenes. The 175 page Duke University Press volume, edited by Jerome M Loving with a foreword by Gay Wilson Allen, uses his eye witness reports to his mother and diary extracts to illuminate major and minor war events. Historian Bell Wiley calls the letters insightful and valuable history.
