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. </div><article id="post-522"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423502478615_6596"><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423502478615_6631"> </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1423502478615_6639">The
