Harvey Reid papers, 1862-1865.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/46378802

Primarily letters Harvey Reid wrote to his cousin, Will E. Reid, during Harvey Reid's service with the 22nd Wisconsin Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. The letters center around military life in camp, the movements of Reid's unit to various positions in Kentucky and Tennessee, and his ruminations on the conduct of the war. The final letter, written at the end of Sherman's march through the Carolinas, gives a critical account of the behavior of Union troops during the campaign. Also included are two letters addressed to Harvey Reid from his sister Sara. These letters discuss everyday activities of Reid's family and friends in Racine, Wisc., during the war.
