New!Letters Home to Sarah the Civil War Letters of Guy C. taylor, thirty-sixth Wisconsin Volunteers Guy C. Taylor, Edited by Kevin Alderson & Patsy AldersonIntroduction by Kathryn Shively MeierForgotten in an attic in cashton for more than a century, these 165 letters were written by a young farmer-turned-soldier who served in the 36th Wisconsin regiment in the American civil War. Whether describing training at camp randall, his bouts of measles and malaria, the siege of Petersburg, Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, or the post-war parade of the armies through Washington D.c., Guy taylor shows himself a keen and thoughtful observer. the letters show, too, taylor’s transformation from a lonely and somewhat disgruntled infantryman to a thoughtful commentator on the greater ideals of the war.2012, 358 pp. 6 x 9 34 b/w photos, 4 maps
