Book excerpt: "Thomas Berry and his wife Estelle were farmers in Knox County, Illinois. They had two children. Luella and Sylvester. Thomas soldiered through the battles of Stone's River, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Missionary Ridge and Pickett's Mill. He was captured and exchanged, took "French leave" to see Estelle, and then was returned to his company. He wrote home describing his experiences and his perspectives on the various people, communities and geographies he witnessed. He offered much advice to Estelle regarding the management of the farm in his absence. ... These letters reveal Thomas for the good man that he was and the Civil War for the terrible hardships it imposed upon everyone."--Inside jacket flap
