http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/74986060

One hundred sixty-seven letters written by Powell to his brother, Israel Powell, and other family members in Seneca County, chiefly relating to daily military life, his duties, the campaigns in which he participated, and the near misses encountered, as well as his feelings and opinions of those around him, as well as general events of the day. Of special interest are the first seven letters which provide a rare description of Camp Monroeville and the day-to-day events of a new recruit adjusting to military life. Other places represented include Clarksburg, Martinsburg, and Romney, W. Va., Winchester, Harrisonburg, Cedar Creek, and Richmond, Va., and Sharpsburg and Hagerstown, Md.
