In March of 1861 Texas seceded from the Union, and the Love
brothers of Limestone County - Cyrus, Samuel, James, and John -
enlisted to fight for the Confederate cause. For the next four
years, the brothers travelled the war-torn South as cavalry in
Terry's Texas Rangers, seeing action in some of the fiercest
battles in the Western Theater, yet faithfully sending letters home
to their expectant family. Complete with a scholarly introduction
shedding insight into the Love family, their travels, and their
family communication network, this volume collects, transcribes,
and annotates 78 letters by eight authors spanning the entire Civil
War. In addition to soldiers' correspondence, the collection also
contains letters written to and from their female relatives on the
domestic front. Yours in Filial Regards: The Civil War Letters of a
Texas Family offers a fascinating inside perspective of the Civil
War from both the Confederate battle lines and the home front.
This anthology provides a single, convenient volume of diverse
primary texts supporting the teaching and research field of
Anglophone Transatlantic literatures and print culture. Focusing on
ongoing and shared concerns and social practices across the long
nineteenth century, the book's thematically-organised sections mark
major Transatlantic social movements of that era as expressed,
negotiated, and recorded through literary production. The anthology
offers a range of tools and texts for innovative thinking,
teaching, and exploration. Headnotes provide guidance on how
individual selections arose from social and historical contexts.
