C. Henry Pine papers, 1862-1864 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56052447

Mainly letters, 1862-1864, from Pine to his mother, father, and siblings. There are also several diary-style writings, which appear to have been mailed to his family. The earlier letters cover the routine nature of military life, drills, and inspections. In the summer of 1863, Pine fell gravely ill and was visited by his father, Samuel Winchester Pine, in the hospital at Fairfax Station, Va. A small number of letters from his father, the hospital chaplain, and nurses update the family on his condition. Upon recovery, Pine rejoined his regiment, which faced combat for the first time. Letters from this period discuss the possibility of death, as well as financial matters, the upcoming presidential election, and rumors about the future movements of his regiment.
