Review:
A group of 14 manuscript letters that tells the brief, but moving, story of Alexander Beveridge, from the beginning of his military service in August 1862 to his death in December 1862. Most of the items were addressed to his sister, Mary, in Hebron, New York, and detail his journey to New York to muster into service and then to the battlefields of Virginia. In his letter of August 23, he writes dramatically to his sister his instructions regarding his estate should he fall in battle. The letter of September 23 includes a hand-drawn map of the camp in Virginia. Also includes three letters written by officers and fellow soldiers regarding the circumstances of his death.
