Abstract	"The personal letters of this soldier, supplemented by the editor's overview of the events and actions of the regiment, offer a view of the common soldier as well as battlefield and camp culture. The letters also reveal how this former schoolteacher urged his fellow soldiers forward at Gettysburg despite a sense that the cause was lost"--Provided by publisher.
