Summary
A book of letters from a soldier in the Civil War. This soldier, Frank McGregor, was born in England and spent his childhood in Scotland. His parents settled in Ohio in the early 1850s. He entered the Union army in 1862. He served in the western theater of the war, spending time in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. He was writing to his 20 year old school teacher girlfriend. The author considers the letters "timeless, because in addition to capturing the spirit and mood of loneliness, camaraderie, boredom and anxiety that soldiers of every era have experienced, Frank raised questions that thousands of Americans asked themselves again in World Wars I and II and in the Korean War, and are asking themselves even more intensely today...whether war is futile or necessary; whether all the suffering is worth it."

Summary
"March 1858...Should Kansas be admitted to the Union? Who will run Pennsylvania's canals? What is the family's relation to Society? These are but a few of the concerns recorded this month by Henry Kyd Douglas in 'The Douglas diary'. Douglas, residing on Center Square, is in the class of 1858 at F&M College. He tells of the 'students escort' to President James Buchanan during the latter's inaugural one year ago. 'The Douglas Diary' is also said to record many other events and hitherto unexplained mischief in community, college and national life during the years 1856-1858." [advertisement]
