Book Description
Letters Written by Union soldier Abner C. Smith to His Family in East Haddam, Connecticut, 1862-1865. Transcribed and Annotated. One by one, his wife saved his letters, until, at the end of two-and-a-half years, there were 113. His children saved them and began the passing of the letters to the next generations, who lovingly preserved them. Now they are in book form, transcribed and annotated. Abner C. Smith's letters tell the story of the Civil War in the voice on an ordinary Union soldier who tries with all his might to raise his children and support his wife through the written word only. Hope, patriotism, faith, courage, humor, and love weave together with his worries about the cow, the wood, the crops, the finances, the health of his children, the education of his children, the laziness of his children, and how to be sure his one daughter, the teenaged Georgiana, would be "a good girl." As part of the 20th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteers, his letters come from New Haven, Washington D.C., Virginia, Gettysburg, Alabama, Tennessee, "somewhere is the woods of Georgia" while on Sherman's March to Sea, Savannah, and from a "Hospital near Goldsboro, North Carolina." (The companion book, Georgiana, Like So Many, is the story of Abner C. Smith's daughter.)

Book Description
"This is a group of letters that center on the George W. Smith and Sarah Dilley Smith families. The letters are primarily written by various family members to George and Sarah and by George and Sarah in return. Included are also letters to and from Sarah's mother and father, Samuel M. and Charlotte Lemanda Hinds Usher Dilley and by Sarah's brothers from the battlefield. Although most of the family is from Mississippi, some letters are those from George's siblings and families who lived in and wrote from Alabama. The letters were sent during the war years of 1860-1866. A few addtional items included were written as late as 1974 by family members."--Preface.

Book Description
Who Only Stand and Wait is a story of the Civil War, but with few exceptions, not of battles. It is the account, in letters, between a couple, Ann and David Smith, from Steuben County, New York. While Ann waited at home, David served his time at a series of forts in the New York Harbor area, punctuated by one long trip to the south with recruits and prisoners, and one period of activity controlling the New York draft riots. Separated by more than distance, life in the military could not be shared. this couple represents thousands more. While not in the front lines, they never-the-less were touched by death, by the shock of a world they could not have imagined in rural Steuben County, and by the testing of all their values. Their letters to each other make it real to us. -- Back cover.
