http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/311510193

Two letters from Edward A. Walker, member of the First Minnesota Infantry, Company D, to George W. Knight, of Massachusetts, while on campaign. Walker wrote the first letter (June 25, 1861) in Harrisburg, Pa., while en route to Washington, D.C. He wrote the second (Sept. 9, 1863) in Alexandria, Va., soon after the regiment had helped prevent the possible recurrence of draft riots in New York City.
