Synopsis

These are the Civil War letters of Major Lyman Allen of the 37th Regiment Iowa Volunteer Infantry, known as the Graybeards, since recruits were required to be over the age of 45. Also included is the diary of his step-daughter, Viola Baldwin, who often lived with her mother and step-father at the latter's various duty posts. This book represents the first published history of this regiment, unique in all the Union army.
