As the war went on, it includes surgical and medical notes. I'll keep my eye out for info on the 79th NY for you Terry (and the 13th Mass for you Brad!).<br /><br />JimJim Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635615531025513644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1439587530787929381.post-17990699310177652292009-08-29T17:20:45.461-07:002009-08-29T17:20:45.461-07:00Jim, This is a great letter.

I wonder if you're finding many letters of such length and substance, and how varied the military correspondents are. <br /><br />I hope your book is selling well; I plan to pick up my own copy soon.<br /><br />Keep up the great work.<br /><br />P.S. If you come across anything re: the 79th NY or any of the Irish regiments, I'd love to know!Terry Johnstonnoreply@blogger.com
