Opis

German Americans were one of the largest immigrant groups in the Civil War era, and comprised nearly 10% of Union troops. Yet little attention has been paid to their daily during the war. This collection of letters, written by German immigrants to friends and family back home, provides a new angle to our understanding of the Civil War experience and challenges some long-held assumptions.
