Smith to His Family in East Haddam, Connecticut, 1862-1865. Transcribed and Annotated.One by one, his wife saved his letters, until, at the end of two-and-a-half years, there were 113. His children saved them and began the passing of the letters to the next generations, who lovingly preserved them. Now they are in book form, transcribed and annotated.Abner C. Smiths letters tell the story of the Civil War in the voice on an ordinary Union soldier who tries with all his might to raise his children and support his wife through the written word only. Hope, patriotism, faith, courage, humor, and love weave together with his worries about the cow, the wood, the crops, the finances, the health of his children, the education of his children, the laziness of his children, and how to be sure his one daughter, the teenaged Georgiana, would be "a good girl." As part of the 20th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteers, his letters come from New Haven, Washington D.C., Virginia, Gettysburg, Alabama, Tennessee, "somewhere is the woods of Georgia" while on Shermans March to Sea, Savannah, and from a "Hospital near Goldsboro, North Carolina."(The companion book, Georgiana, Like So Many, is the story of Abner C. Smiths daughter.) Author Biography Claire Smith is a lifelong Connecticut resident who spent too many years commuting to work in other states. She now blissfully spends her time researching and writing in her Connecticut home. Having experienced firsthand the significant changes in the role of women during her own lifetime (she was born in 1949), Claire takes deep dives into the lives of the women in her familys past, seeking information and insight on how the changes for women that occurred during their lives impacted them. Claire lives on the beach in Westbrook, Connecticut, with her husband, Peter. Their three adult daughters and their growing families live nearby and visit often. Claire is the author of The Life and Unsolved Mystery of Jane Anthony and the companion books, Georgiana, Like So Many and The Civil War Letters of Abner C. Smith.
