Van Vlack, Alonzo A., d.1896. Letters, 1864.

Title: Letters, 1864.

Letters, 1864 June 14 - Sept. 18, nine in number, from Van Vlack, in Decatur, Madison Co., Ala., to his parents in Mich., in which he vividly describes conditions and duties at the camp in Decatur, such as drilling, maintenance, and scouting and the other activities in which his unit, the 18th Mich. Infantry Regiment, was involved. He describes terrain and weather conditions well, and also details Confederate soldiers voluntarily surrenduring to the Union sentries every day. He also details the amount and types of food given to the troops, the destruction of Decatur, his low opinion of Copperhead Clement L. Vallandigham, whom Van Vlack felt was much more treacherous than Jefferson Davis; his high opinion of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant (the political opinions are in the June 27 letter), the good fortune of being able to swim and fish in the Tennessee River, his low opinion of John C. Fremont as a presidential candidate and his racism (the last two in the Aug. 11 letter), his diatribe against the Copperheads as cowards whom he hated because they would not fight (in the Aug. 27 letter), while the Confederates at least would fight, and his desire to end the war so he could get home.
