The letters home of two young Union soldiers, Adam and Michael Bright, who served in Pennsylvania Regiments in the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. One survived, the other was killed at Chickamauga. The letters are poignant and filled with details of the Civil War as the Bright Brothers saw it - not as an exercise in military strategy, but a disordered encounter full of hardship and violence. A meaningful, historical document
