Writing & Fighting the Confederate
War Eyewitness to War 1861-1865
The Collected Works of Peter Wellington
Alexander, Confederate War Correspondent "We all
felt that the decisive hour had arrived. We knew, too, that an
empire trembled in the balances, and that the lives, the fortunes
and the liberties of ourselves and of generation yet unborn, were
the mighty stake for which the bloody handed combatants were
playing."
—Alexander at First Manassas, July 21, 1861 "I write
at a hospital, in the midst of the wounded and dying. There is a
smell of death in the air, and the laboring surgeons are literally
covered from head to foot with the blood of the sufferers."
—Alexander at Antietam, September 17, 1862 "The
bloodiest and most desperate battle of this bloody and desperate
war has just been fought here, on the soil of Pennsylvania."
—Alexander at Gettysburg, July 3, 1863

Writing and Fighting from the Army of Northern
Virginia
A Collection of Confederate Soldier
Correspondence "A man
who has never witnessed the carnage of a battlefield, can form no
idea of its terror and grandeur; it is too horrid to contemplate,
especially when you remember that, amid all this carnage, you were
one of the actors."
—A Confederate Soldier at First Manassas, July 21,
1861
"The enemy swarmed around them and the order was
given to fall back. Sullenly and disappointed they fought their
way, and back down the hill through the same awful fire in which
they advanced. Many shouldered their wounded friends and brought
them off the field."
—A Confederate Soldier at Gettysburg, July 3,
1863

Writing & Fighting the Civil
War
500 Union Soldier Letters from the
Battlefront "WAR!
WAR! WAR!", thundered the April 21, 1861 headline of the New York
Sunday Mercury. Eager for first-hand news from the battlefront, the
editors asked the departing volunteers to write and "inform us of
any events of interest." This
simple request for news generated the largest and most impressively
detailed collection of journalistic correspondence ever written
during the Civil War. For four long and bloody years, hundreds of
soldiers wrote thousands of letters to the Sunday Mercury, creating
a unique history of the great American conflict. Recently
discovered by historian William B. Styple, and now published for
the first time, these letters are the authentic voices of the Civil
War. The heroic Sunday Mercury soldier-correspondents were truly
writing and fighting the Civil War. Price:
