Six Page Civil War Letter by D.O. Kelley
1863
This long and exciting letter details several skirmishes and the escalation of the war for Kelley's regiment. Kelley describes a general review: "It was a magnificent sight the day of the review to see the true sons of America marching in one mass column after the toils + hardships they have endured through this winter with their glittering sabres and bayonets with noble general Millray at the head."; a scouting party captured by Confederate forces; keeping horses safe from 'the theiving rebbles" by keeping them in a church; General Lee at Front Royal; and various incidentals about picketing and scouting.
