" While Father is Away reveals the intimate story of a
British-American's role in the American Civil War. William
Bradbury's letters home provide a rare window on the unique
relationships among husband, wife, and children while a father was
away at war. Yorkshire attorney turned Union volunteer soldier
Bradbury became a "privileged private" with extraordinary access to
powerful Union generals including Daniel Butterfield, future
president Benjamin Harrison, and Clinton B. Fisk, the region's
administrator for the Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction. The
letters also provide an in-depth look at this driven land
speculator and manager for the Atchison Topeka Santa Fe Railway. As
a reporter for the Chicago Tribune and the Manchester Guardian,
Bradbury was both eyewitness to and participant in the shaping of
events in the world as it moved west.
