Summary
"While there are many collections of letters from Civil War soldiers to their wives, very few include such a rich trove of letters from the homefront. Together they paint an engrossing portrait of a soldier and husband who was trying to do his patriotic and familial duty, and of a wife trying to cope with loneliness and responsibility while longing for her husband's safe return. Beautifully edited and annotated...they bring to life a nation under siege and provide a rare look at the war's impact on both the common soldier and his family." [from the book jacket]

Notes
In: The Gettysburg Magazine, no.37 (June 2007)
"In recent years, new first person accounts of the Civil War frequently emerge. Usually they are in the form of either long-stored letters or diaries. The following account has a different origin. In 1912, Benjamin F. W. Urban published a book of sonnets and poetry titled "Dreaming on the Conestoga". Buried as the last chapter is the story of his experience as a soldier in the 1st Pennsylvania Reserves (30th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry) at the battle of Gettysburg. The value of the account, as in most veteran reminiscences, is in the events he observed directly, here told by an articulate observer. As in all such accounts, things not seen directly can be taken, at best, only as an informed source."
