Civil War Letters of Charles F. Morse: 1861-1865
THE Second Massachusetts Infantry Regiment was organized in April, 1861, immediately after the firing on Fort Sumter. Charles F. Morse was soon among them, eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. With the 2nd Massachusetts, he saw action at many important battles, including Gettysburg. He served the entire war and this collection of his letters home were published privately in 1898. A friend of Robert Shaw (of the movie "Glory" fame) Morse saw a great deal of action, including the fierce fighting at Gettysburg. Front-line diaries and letters of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. Lt-Col. Morse's letters are a fascinating and valuable addition to the American Civil War body of literature. For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
