Papers, 1827-1868; (bulk 1860-1865).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/19903040

Family correspondence of Love and of his four brothers, John Wesley, George W., S. Ervin, and Robert C. Love, all soldiers in the Confederate Army. A few papers prior to 1861 consist of militia commissions and teaching certificates, and letters from friends and relatives in South Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas. The bulk of the collection consists of letters written by the Love brothers while serving in the Confederate Army, specifically in eastern South Carolina, eastern North Carolina, and the vicinity of Richmond, Va. Topics include camp life, battles and skirmishes, food, health of the troops, religious services in camp, and the prices of general commodities. One letter from the sheriff of Henderson County, N.C., orders that all free blacks in M.N. Love's company be brought to the county seat for registration. Other letters include one from a cousin in Mississippi describing wartime conditions there, especially after the fall of Vicksburg. Included also are a few copies of Civil War poems and songs.
