About this title

Synopsis

Peer directly into the daily life of Civil War “soldiering” through the remarkable original letters of Private George Washington Waterman of the 39th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, serving from mid-1861 until early 1864. George Washington Waterman was a direct descendant of two prominent Revolutionary War doctors and veterans, Dr. Elijah Skeels and Dr. Luther Waterman, whose pioneer families traveled west simultaneously, converging in southeastern Ohio’s Hocking River Valley in the 1830s.
