To Tranquillity: 1861-1865 Civil War Letters of Six North Carolina Brothers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781720772910)

The Post Office for the community of Tranquillity, North Carolina, was first opened in 1839. To learn the details of relatives, friends, the events of importance in the neighborhood, and to share their own day-to-day lives, the Peace brothers wrote home to Tranquillity between 1861 and 1865. These are the more than two hundred letters written during the Civil War. As you listen to their voices, images of family, of community, of personal interactions emerge and you become a visitor in their neighborhood, are drawn into their war, care for their family, and form an emotional connection with each of them. The letters provide a history of one devastated community and the men in the 23rd Regiment NC, beginning at Bull Run and ending at Appomattox.
