[CIVIL WAR]. A Trio of a Union Soldier’s Letters Home, Including Two Post-War Letters, One of Which Mentions the Andersonville Prison. [V.p., 1862, 1865]. 8vo and 4to multi-page letters (16 pages of manuscript on four folded sheets). All are addressed “Mother”. General wear, creasing, soiling, a few occasional tears. Generally good. The post-war letters (presumably this soldier was part of the occupation forces of the Union) are dated months after the end of the war. The letters are of a mundane nature, except the letter dated “wednesday august 2th, 1865,” which mentions his travels in which he encounters Andersonville: “... we took the left hand road went to the next junction got there at mid knite staid there til a bout six and a half here the roades forks a gain on the left hand road goes to almania [probably “Alabama”] we took the right hand road but before we got there we went thrue Andersonville the place where so many of oir union soldiers died in the rebel prisoner. it is a verry small place i believe it was after dark when we went thrue it. i would likd to have stop there and went over the grave yard for i am told that amos erage of po. c. thirty eight is baried there…” All letters are signed Joseph H. Solcorn or Soleorn. Although this correspondent is barely literate, he conveys his thoughts well.
