This collection of 139 letters from six of the seven Gould brothers
who left their homes in central New York to fight for the Union
Army forms a moving depiction, not only of life on the front lines
of the Civil War, but of life on the home front as well. These
letters, written to their beloved sister Hannah, span the entire
four years of the conflict and run the gamut from initial
enlistment to eventual death or discharge. Through the eyes of the
Goulds, an immigrant English family struggling to make a new life,
one is able to experience this major American historical event with
a new understanding. Unfortunately, Hannah's letters to her
brothers at the front are lost forever, victims of the fighting;
but the vivid responses of her brothers speak to her own questions
and concerns about the crisis that was tearing families apart. With
only minor annotation and amendment, these letters tell a most
important story of separation and domestic change. They reveal the
plight of an individual family in the midst of turmoil.
