This publication includes transcriptions of 95 letters as well as examples of the actual letters with facsimiles of the signatures of the correspondents. During the Civil War, nephews who went off to war wrote from where they were stationed. Included is a family history of the descendants of John (1785-1864) and Mary (Keller) Hershberger (1789-1873).
