Ostman & Harry Littell Six Mile Creek Press, 2011 *Comes with packet of printed letters from historic sources. **Please note these are USED books and are being re-sold in GOOD condition - Minimal wear expected** ------------- Too many authors credit high-ranking officers for ultimate Union victory over the Confederacy in 1865. The reality is that the Civil War was won by the frequent heroism and intense resolve of the common soldier. Dear Friend Amelia presents a highly affecting account of a common soldier’s ties to a young woman back home via correspondence from the field. The reader is drawn into John Tidd’s descriptions of life in camp, on the march, and in the heat of battle. A recommended read for all history-minded people with a special interest in the Civil War era.
