Civil War letters of John Allen Morgan during his military service were written from various camps mostly to his sister in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. Letters (1861) tell of his training at Camp Moore and reflect the interest and assistance of local people to the soldiers. Later correspondence tells of his participation in the Battle of Shiloh, and the Battle of Baton Rouge. Some discuss Admiral Farragut's effort to capture Vicksburg, and reflect conditions prior to the fall of Port Hudson. Additional items include a Civil War photograph of John A. Morgan, State of Louisiana currency, and letters (1888) and papers concerning the Morgan family genealogy.
