A Civil War era letter recounts Union resolve against disunionists in Michigan and near Atlanta, with casualties, illness, and pay debates. The piece notes bravery, losses, and morale, mentions captured Confederate figures, and cites President Lincoln’s front-line reception, while reflecting on political tensions and calls for unity.
A lyrical meditation laments earthly farewell and seeks comfort in heaven. It questions bidding friends goodbye without sighs and imagines crossing death's valley to a heavenly home with united praise and golden harps. The verse anchors faith in a Savior and eternal reunion.
Fragmentary verse depicts a speaker lamenting lack of motherly care and affection from loved ones. It contrasts a brother’s hopeful line with a sister’s prayers and a wife’s tenderness, while the speaker laments isolation and questions why nobody cares for me and us.
A garbled wartime letter from the Ninth Michigan Infantry Camp at Fort Halloway expresses fatigue with constant Fourth of July celebrations, laments on civilian indifference, and records names of places and fallen comrades while recalling long posteason festivities and distant travels.
A 1864 account from Beaufort details the 102d United States regiment’s June camp routine and guard duties, noting destruction, desecrated burial grounds, and the eerie quiet across sea island towns. The writer contrasts beauty with ruin, recalls palmetto monument artistry, and questions wartime patriotism amid occupation.
A fragment from the Nashville Times Journal notes a Tennessee communication from Pulaski recounting an officer of the 50th Illinois returning from Monmouth. It describes a crowd reception, a speech by General B. Promiss, and strong expressions by Conservative factions, with vivid charges against the mob and claims of fear to oppose suppression of sentiments.
