"Eloquent, bordering on the lyrical, these letters provide first-hand accounts of cavalry raids, the monotony of camp life, and the horror of battlefield carnage during the American Civil War. Miller conveys a deep commitment to the Confederacy, but he was also critical of Confederate policies that he felt hindered the army's efforts. Dispersed among these war-related topics is the story of Miller's budding relationship with Celestine "Cellie" McCann, the love of his life, whom he would eventually marry. Together, the letters offer significant insight into the life, heart, mind, and attitudes of an intelligent, educated, young mid-19th-century white Southerner."--Jacket.
