Synopsis

"Letters Home" is a 196 page book which follows Company A - 24th Wisconsin Infantry through its many Civil war battles in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia, primarily using fourteen letters home from Eagle soldiers Pvt. Sidney P. Kline and Pvt. George M. Logan. The book contains images of each original letter, and there are very detailed accounts of Stones River and Chickamauga battles by the soldiers. Young Lieutenant Arthur MacArthur was a gangly teenager in 1862, but by 1863 was the hero of the Regiment as he successfully led this regiment in an assault up Missionary Ridge, bearing the flag in one hand and his pistol in the other. His son, WWII General Douglas MacArthur called him the greatest general in American history. See the war through the eyes of those who were there! It's not only an excellent history book, but is a source of inspiration for future generations.
