The Civil War letters of the late lst Lieut. James J. Hartley, 122nd Ohio Infantry Regiment
Hartley was 36 when he enlisted in 1862, and wrote 89 letters to his wife over the two years before he died in the battle of Cold Harbor. They reveal not only his concerns related to his situation, such as worn-out boots and enemy sharpshooters, but also those related to the farm he had left in her care. His great-grandson, Garber Davidson, edited, annotated, and illustrated them; augmented them from other sources; and commented on them before he died in 1998. Facsimiles of several are appended.
