Synopsis

Among the piles of knickknacks, haystacks, dust, and debris abandoned in her historic barn, Katie Aldridge discovered a box containing the Civil War letters of Charles Freeman Biddlecom. Painstakingly transcribing and lightly editing more than 100 letters written by the soldier to his wife during his service, Ms. Aldridge resurrected the voice of the Civil War combat soldier. The tone and character of “Charlie’s” detailed accounts of the war compelled Ms. Aldridge to find out more.

From letters written throughout Grant’s Overland and Richmond-Petersburg campaigns, the reader gains an insider’s view of the war: fear, hunger, sickness, longing and concern for those left behind, and detailed insights about the political climate. Composed from a perspective forged in an Upstate New York community closely linked to the abolitionist cause, woman’s suffrage, and the Quaker philosophy, in No Freedom Shrieker the reader will learn how Charlie’s background shaped his actions and evolving view of the war.
