Harriet R. McIntosh papers, 1861-1874.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34641223

Primarily letters received by Hattie McIntosh from friends and relatives during the Civil War. Most wrote from locations in North Carolina or Virginia. The letters describe camp life and conditions as well as several battles and skirmishes. William Martin described the battle of Cold Harbor; Isaac McIntosh told of the beginning of the battle of Chancellorsville; and Thomas Kerr noted the fall of Fort Fisher, N.C. Several of the soldiers were sick and/or wounded and wrote from Confederate or Union hospitals. Several were captured by the Union Army: Isaac McIntosh wrote of being captured and paroled near Richmond, Va.; and Robert Sifford wrote letters from the prison hospital at Point Lookout, Md. There are also a few postbellum letters from Robert S. Sifford from his home in Tennessee.
