Hello, Marty.
Thank you for these letters. It seems that your soldier knew or at least worked with my hubby’s great-great grandfather.

@ Martin Husk – if you are still reading this thread … your book mentions Adrian Contant writing a letter about his tent mate dying at Andersonville. Where did you find that information? His is my hubby’s relation.

Thank you both for your work.

These letters are thrilling to read. They personalize the Civil War and make it come alive in warm, unique ways. Hats off to you, Marty, on your fine work. Very impressive. I kept thinking as I read how here’s a young man from 148 years ago and we’re all “getting to know him.” You rescued him from history. Like I said, it’s thrilling–a true labor of love.

Marty,

That’s great news that you’re going to publish the letters as a book. Please feel free to let me know if I can help in any way.

Regards,
Martin

Martin, thanks! I’ll have to get a copy which I think will help add much depth to these transcriptions and the 111th, which I know so little about.

A book is in the works. A lot of proof reading still to be done, and then of course finding a willing publisher.

Glad to see you completed the transcriptions. They would make a great book. I want to pass along word that my book on the 111th New York Infantry is now in print. You can see it here: http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4552-3

Thanks,
