This is an original Civil War
soldier’s letter. This letter is written from Cassville, Georgia and is dated
May 21st 1864. The soldier was writing home to "Dear Brother". It
was written by Isaac Miller who was serving with the 93rd Ohio
Infantry. Miller Enlisted on August 5th 1862 as a Private in the 93rd
Ohio Infantry. He served with the regiment until he mustered out in Nashville, Tennessee
on June 8th 1865. When opened up, the paper measures 10-1/2 inches
by 8 inches in overall size. The paper is very thin with some separations along the fold lines. It is amazing that such thin paper survived over the years and it displays well. The letter is handwritten on fine quality paper in
pencil. It comes with a type-written translation of the contents. Miller and
the 97th were serving under General Sherman on his Georgia Campaign.
He is telling his brother that "I a still a live and wel. After about seventeen
days of fighting we have been schimishing mor or les every day…" He mentions
two days of hard fighting at Resaca, Georgia. He says they have came out lucky
by having only four killed and twelve wounded. He mentions one of the musicians
wounded at Buzzard Roost. It has lots of other cool content. It is a neat
original Civil War soldier’s letter.
