Also there is a great book out "Writing & Fighting the Confederate War" The letters of Peter Wellington Alexander Confederate War Correspondent, Edited by William B. Styple Ann From: "Edward Harding" <eharding2@cox.net> To: <CIVIL-WAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 8:28 AM Subject: [CIVIL-WAR] Letters Home > It's always good to read books and find other firsthand accounting of experiences of soldiers in the War. One good website online some of you may enjoy is Extracts of Letters Home by CSA Major General Bryan Grimes from Pitt County, North Carolina, my wife's Great Grandfather. Major General Grimes was the last Major General appointed by Robert E. Lee before the end of the War. A book has been done on these, but there is also a website that contains a good bit of these letters. If anyone is interested, you can find the website at this address: > http://docsouth.unc.edu/grimes/grimes.html > > At present, I'm trying to finish a small book about my German Great Great Grandfather, Sergeant Major William Henry von Eberstein. Before his death in 1890, he wrote his memoirs and included quite a lot about his time in the War. I have been transcribing the portion of the memoirs about his time in the War. He started with Co K, 10th NC State Troops which was a Heavy Artillery Company, and later transferred to the Field & Staff of the NC 61st Regiment. His brother in law, Henry Harding, was Major of the 61st. Once I get all of it put together, I'm having it published, but will only have a small number done. I'll let everyone know when it's done in case someone might have an interest in it. > > Edward Harding > SCV NC Division Genealogist > > > ==== CIVIL-WAR Mailing List ==== > To search our list archives since 1996, go to > http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl > and enter Civil-War in the list name > >
