Descriere magazin:
What does a father write to his wife and young children when he\'s gone to war? Does he explain why he left them? How does he answer their constant questions about his return? Which of his experiences does he relate, and which does he pass over? Should he describe his feelings of separation and loneliness? These questions are as relevant today as they were over 150 years ago, when David Brainard Griffin, a corporal in Company F of the 2nd
Minnesota Regiment of Volunteers, wrote to those he left behind on the family\'s
Minnesota prairie homestead while he fought to preserve the Union. His letters cover the period
from his enlistment at
Minnesota\'s Fort Snelling in September 1861, to his death in Georgia during the Battle of Chickamauga in September 1863. One hundred of them were preserved and passed down in his family. They, along with one
from his daughter as she asked the next generation to read her father\'s words, have been carefully transcribed and annotated by a great-great-grandson,
Nick K.
Adams, allowing further generations to experience Griffin\'s answers to these questions. Filled with poignant images of his daily activities, his fears and exhilarations in military conflict, and his thoughts and emotions as the
Civil War kept him apart
from his family, these letters offer a fascinating insight into the personal experiences of a common soldier in the American
Civil War.
Nick K.
Adams is a retired elementary school teacher and an avid
Civil War re-enactor and historical speaker who lives in Washington State. Publisher\'s website: http: //sbprabooks.com/NickKAdams
