http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/20770085

Correspondence of three North Carolina families, the Headricks (Hedricks), Bosses, and Franks, who settled in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, and Kentucky, regarding life on the new farmlands as compared with their previous life in North Carolina. One letter from G.W. Frank describes his course of instruction at a North Carolina school, and another from Alexander Frank to his wife, Susanna, is concerned with desertion from the Confederate Army. Letters of George W. and Jesse M. Frank describe the movements of the 48th North Carolina Infantry in the Petersburg area, with comments on food, religion, and camp life; miscellaneous other Civil War letters of the Franks and their cousins, the Leonards, mention skirmishes in Virginia, food, and the battles of Spotsylvania Court House and of North Anna Creek.
