William Cross Hazelton's letters to his fiancee describe the life of an Illinois volunteer in the Army of the Potomac, the military unit that fought Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in most of the major battles of the Civil War. They breathe new life into a war so devastating that it still scars the American psyche, while exhibiting a moral perspective far ahead of its time.
