Download or read book A Soldier Boy's Letters to "The Girl I Left Behind Me" (Expanded, Annotated) written by Martin A. Haynes. This book was released on 2016-11-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his enlistment in 1861 to mustering out at the end of the American Civil War, Martin Haynes kept up a voluminous correspondence with the girl he'd left behind him: Cornelia Lane. Throughout the bloody fighting at Gettysburg, Malvern Hill, and other famous battles, it is remarkable how little it seems Haynes withheld from the woman who became his wife. A very popular song title during the Civil War, every soldier knew "The Girl I Left Behind Me" and had someone about who they could sing it. In excruciating detail, Haynes relates the freezing cold, the killing heat, the torn bodies, deaths of friends, and the victories won by his New Hampshire regiment boys. After the war, Haynes was editor and publisher of the "Lake Village Times" and a United States Representative for the state of New Hampshire. By the time he wrote this book in 1916, he had been married to Cornelia for more than fifty years. Front-line letters and diaries of the Civil War bring an immediacy to a long-ago event and connect us to these everyday men and women who lived it. Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compiled near the end of his life as a legacy to his friends and family, this book is a collection of letters written by the author, Martin Alonzo Haynes, when he was a soldier in the Second New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War. After having read these epistles, one will have a better feeling of what it was like to be a soldier in the ranks at the time of this great conflict, which ultimately decided what sort of nation "these United States" would be. While his loyalty and patriotism are above reproach, Haynes' lack of animosity toward "the Johnnies," ─ the enemy, is remarkable. Many anecdotes of camp life are enjoyable and humorous, especially when one of his tent mates feigned insanity in order to get a discharge. The manner in which his sanity was restored to him by an Irishman who could bear no more is amusing. This is a book which gives a look into the lot of a soldier, both good and bad, funny, and sad.
