Ever True: Civil War Letters of Seward’s New York 9th Heavy Artillery of Wayne and Cayuga Counties between a soldier, his wife and his Canadian family - Lisa Saunders. The transcribed letters of Charles McDowell and his wife, Nancy, display remarkable devotion, and offer readers a unique perspective of the Civil War. These letters contain little known details about: hangings, prostitution, amputations, desertions, theft and murder among Union troops. Charles also describes personal contacts with Lincoln and Seward (of Seward's Alaskan Folly); battles of Cold Harbor, Jerusalem Plank Road, Monocacy, Opequon, Fisher's Hill, Cedar Creek; the Siege of Petersburg; Mosby's Men; and the Shenandoah Valley and Appomattox Campaign. The Ninth Heavy Artillery was a part of the Sixth Corps. This story is cohesive and informative yet charming and romantic in a very personal way. Vintage photographs enhance the text. (2004), 2006, 5½x8½, paper, 202 pp. $19.50 S2526 ISBN: 0788425269
