At the beginning of the Civil War, New Brunswick was positioned at
the transportation and manufacturing hub of New Jersey. Many of the
city's young men exchanged manufacturing equipment for rifles, and
those whom they left behind witnessed the war through letters from
their sons, brothers and husbands. Patriotism, a longing to earn
more money and adventure lured these "Brunswick Boys"--close
friends and co-workers--to enlist. Their recollections offer
insights into everyday life in New Jersey during the war--New
Brunswick's factory system, education and medicine. These letters
also reveal their struggles to survive amid battles and close
encounters with death that so many soldiers faced, as well as their
difficult transition back to civilian life. Local author Joanne
Hamilton Rajoppi presents the fascinating stories of New Brunswick
and the Civil War, gleaned from the letters of those who
experienced it.
