http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20078034

Personal correspondence of Adam and Sarah Pickel and of their son, Adam H. Pickel. The Civil War letters of Adam H. Pickel describe his military activities while stationed at Fort Lyon, W. Va., and contain comments on saloons, conditions of the barracks and food, and discrepancies in newspaper reports of Federal engagements. Adam Pickel's letters reflect political and economic conditions in eastern Pennsylvania during the Civil War and comment on the abolitionists, Abraham Lincoln, and blacks. Sarah Pickel's letters, chiefly evangelical exhortations directed to her son, give some account of the Irish laborers of Norristown and Reading, Pa.
