Leverett Bradley Jr. served in the First Massachusetts Heavy
Artillery for nearly 4 years and was witness to some of the most
intense fighting of the Civil War. At 15 years old he had joined
his father's military unit, as did his eleven year old brother
Jerry. During this time the he wrote home constantly. For a person
so young his letters were wonderfully written gives the impression
that he wanted to share his experiences with those he loved.
Slightly wounded on more than one occasion, Leverett, Jr. survived
the war and mustered out as a first lieutenant. Turning to the
church he found his calling as a minister in the Episcopal Church
and died in 1902. In memoriam, his widow, Susan Hinckley Bradley,
privately published these letters and some sermons written in his
honor in 1905.
