Battle of Missionary Ridge Letter, 30th OH

Item Details

Description

This letter was written by Elihu Wheeler of Co. K, 30th Ohio Volunteer Infantry (OVI) in December of 1863. In it, Wheeler describes the Battle of Missionary Ridge, saying that he had been in a fight in Chattanooga and that they had "whipped the Rebs." Great content, condition as shown.

Complete transcript:

Bridgeport, Alabama?December 20, 1863

Dear Father,

I take this opportunity to let you know that I am well at present and hoping that these few lines may find you all in good health. We have been in a fight at Chattanooga. We whipped the rebels. We had one killed and four wounded in our company. The Rebs retreated and we followed them a hundred miles. We had some hard times—scare of rations. I hadn’t had a letter from you for a long time. We had to forage for all we had to eat for seventeen days. We have no tents to sleep in. We sleep out in the pure air. The weather is tolerable cold. I don’t expect to come home till my time is out. So nothing more at present. When we get settled down, I will write more. write soon.

From Elihu Wheeler
