Summary: Time Travel
Comment: I've always enjoyed fictional time travel books. These letters written by a young Quaker man willing to sacrifice & go to war (in my opinion) for "duty, honor, & country" transported me back in time. I enjoyed the beauty of the language with the thee's & thou's of the Quaker custom & the precise details of the battles that could have been written by a war correspondent.
It also engendered lively discussions between my husband (from Mississippi, whose grandmother was a Lee,as in Robert E.) & myself (from Ohio) on the philosophies of the soldiers on both sides of the "Civil War".
Reading these letters has inspired me to be more diligent in corresponding with my own loved ones near & far. Today we are blessed with e-mail. In 1864 it was letters.
His love for his family, especially his mother, comes through as he keeps writing so they will know he is still alive. It's funny how his tone changes when he writes to his "bro". More like guys describing a football game!
I look forward to reading more collections of letters.
