[NEohioPAL] WordStage presents a program of Civil War Love Letters at the Heights Library's Main Branch

[Tim Tavcar via NEohioPAL]

When he wasn’t marching, fighting, or setting up camp, the Civil War soldier might take a few moments to write to his loved ones at home. These letters often contain accounts of battles, life in camp, and general news. But many soldiers, as they marched off to face the enemy, had left behind a wife or sweetheart, and to them they would compose sweet, poignant, and occasionally funny letters that give life and personality to the participants in this great national conflict. These letters show their sorrows of being apart, fears that the soldier would not return home, and hopes for the future after the war’s end.   The letters, presented by WordStage readers Tim Tavcar and Agnes Herrmann and underscored with the poignant music of the Civil War Era played by Jan C. Snow on the Hammered Dulcimer, portray many sides of the soldier in love.The performance will take place at the 2340 Lee Road location of the Cleveland Heights/University Heights Library on Thursday evening, February 12th at 7:00pm. Free and Open to the public  Submitted by Tim Tavcar
