RE: American Civil War Letters - June 29, 1864 - The Tragic Story of Mr Hill, Crushed Under a Train

I've said may times before, the strength of Marcia is astounding. In this letter you can really sense her determination. We could also learn from the way families then were prepared to sacrifice to stand up for their principles and beliefs. I do hope you can more formally compile these letters one day, a book with a little historical context would be amazing!

I've been thinking about it, and about the best way to share the originals along with the text. Online it's trivial to link to the full sized image but reproducing the original letters in print would be much more expensive. But maybe it wouldn't be critical to have all of them, and to focus instead on the events of that day.
