Soldier mortals would not survive if they were not blessed with the
gift of imagination and the pictures of hope,"" wrote Confederate
Private Henry Graves in the trenches outside Petersburg, Virginia.
""The second angel of mercy is the night dream."" Providing fresh
perspective on the human side of the Civil War, this book explores
the dreams and imaginings of those who fought it, as recorded in
their letters, journals and memoirs. Sometimes published as poems
or songs or printed in newspapers, these rarely acknowledged
writings reflect the personalities and experiences of their
authors. Some expressions of fear, pain, loss, homesickness and
disappointment are related with grim fatalism, and some with
glimpses of humor.
