Letters to Louise Kingsley Savage, 1851-1865.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/38476728

The collection consists mainly of letters from John A. Savage, Jr. to Louise Kingsley Savage from 1851-1865. The early letters (1851-1859) were written during their courtship and pertain mainly to personal matters of their relationship. The letters from 1861-1865 were written while Savage served in the 28th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. The most extensive set of letters are from points along the Mississippi River, particularly St. Charles and Helena (Ark.) where his regiment was involved in the battle of Helena (Ark.) and the siege of Vicksburg (Miss.). His later letters describe in detail the battle of Cold Harbor (Va.) while he was in the 36th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment.
