Content DescriptionReturn to Top
These letters were written by Raycide Mosher of Albion, Michigan between January 15, 1864 and August 18, 1865, and relate his experiences during the Civil War. There is one undated letter in 1864 and one unrelated Mosher family letter in 1889.
All of the letters have been transcribed and while not important historically, they are very interesting and provide insights into the everyday life of the common soldier.
