Bradley's Letters Sent Home The Civil War 1861- 1865: Brigadier General Luther P. Bradley

Robert Bradley's compilation of the Civil War letters from his great grandfather, General Luther Prentice Bradley, is a valuable gift of history. From 1861-1865, the career soldier's letters home are full of unvarnished observations, not limited to assessments of battles, prominent leaders, and the ugly cost of war. Luther's sentimental descriptions of locale, flowers, even etiquette, tell much about the character of an educated man who survived a harrowing period, still able to blend duty with hope and promise.I felt as eager to read each letter as those lucky enough to receive them 150 years ago.Cj Fosdick, author of the Time Travel "Accidental Series"
