This is an original Civil War
soldier’s letter. This letter is written from "Camp near the Cattahooch River", Georgia and is dated
July 14th 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 2 pages of paper measures 10-1/2 inches
by 8-1/4th 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 "... the rebbels left thar fortifications at Kinasaw mountain." He says that in their new location. you can see Atlanta by going to a little hill. He says the area is heavily wooded and he gets a few ticks each day off of him. Miller tells of soldiers from the 23rd Kentucky stealing silver from one of the houses. Towards the end of the letter, he tells of the Confederates attacking their breastworks at night. He says how the dead was stacked up because they couldn't make it into the pits. He says they were still there after they left. It has lots of other cool content. It is a neat
original Civil War soldier’s letter.
