Letters home

We have had hard times ever since we came to the vally but still harder

while we was in pennsylvania. We was in Penn something the rise of

three weeks, during that time we was not allowed to unsaddle our horse

or sleep with our shoes off. . . . Penn is the pretiest country I ever seen

or ever expect to see. . . . We had one big battle that was at Gettysburg,

Penn. This was said to be the hardest fight that has been during the war

and Great slaughter on both sides. The ground lay covered with the

dead & wounded for miles.

—Isaac V. Reynolds, a Confederate soldier, July 20, 1863

Letters home

Whilst we were on our retreat two of our men were carrying [a fellow

soldier named] Sayer who was severely wounded, one of them was

struck by a musket ball stunning him, and letting the wounded man

fall on the ground, his bowels comming out, the other putting them

back as best he could. Then one of the Rhode Island boys took hold

with me and helped. While we were carrying him the R-I-boys arm was

shot away by a cannon ball. A surgeon passing by looked at Sayer &

told us it was no use trying to take him any further as he could not live,

so we left him there.

—Henry F. Ritter, a Union soldier, July 23, 1861
