I've been to Shiloh and Gettysberg. Both are very chilling places.

Cool piece of history, he wrote that 3 days before he died I don’t think he wrote that 3 days before he died because he stated that his Pa was leaving him to go home and he would like for him to write when he got there also he stated that he was cut off from his regiment and was trying to get to them also it says he was captured in May and a POW at that point. Dates don’t add up. He probably starved to death over the 3 months that he was a POW.

My tour is with a bonafide Civik War expert. I bet he’ll talk a lot about the Alabama troops that were there.
The thing that will strike you as a Southerner is that there is this big beautiful cemetery with marked headstones and you walk through it and realize that it's only for the Union soldiers and you winder where all the Confederate soldiers are and you walk around and realize that they were all chunked in a ditch and covered up. In 1866 all the Union soldiers were re-interred. I can't imagine what a dirty job that was for some poor laborers... The Cemetery does have a nice poem posted at various locations. it is "The Bivouac of the Dead."

It's definitely sad. Hate his wife never wrote him, i bet she had done moved on, there's a sense of urgency in his words I found it interesting that he never once said in his letter that he loved her and the kids. Which he even thought would be his last one he would write. I’m guessing that he saw so much death and guts that it harden his heart. The letter was mostly matter of fact.

He talked about there agreement. Lots of marriages back then we’re not based off of love, but rather convenience.
