"In these letters written by a young Union soldier to his wife,
readers will discover a sensitive, loving man whose military career
brought tragedy to the family to whom he was devoted." -- Alan D. Gaff, author of On Many a Bloody Field: Four Years in the Iron Brigade
Product Description
Over 80 letters from Corporal John Pardington to his wife paint a vivid portrait of the life and everyday concerns of a Union soldier and his transformation from simple Michigan country boy to seasoned fighter. His touching love letters are made even more poignant because the reader is aware of the young soldier's impending death at the Battle of Gettysburg.
