A Civil War Family - at Home - at War

By Katherine Robb Chaudhri

In a junk box at a relative's estate sale, an amazing discovery was found: a bundle of yellowed letters. They were love letters between a Civil War officer and his wife. The letters, transcribed from the original pens of Elizabeth and John McCartney, bring insight into how soldiers coped with daily life on the battlefield. They tell of how wives dealt with difficulties we can hardly imagine.

The author, the great-granddaughter of Captain John F. McCartney, brings life and reality to another side of the Civil War. The character and determination of a loyal soldier and the wife he left behind give a new perspective to a war now remembered chiefly as a series of battles.
