AL050   Mr. Tubbs' Civil War  
Nat Brandt
An intimate portrait of the Civil War through letters written by Union soldiers to their friend Charles Tubbs.  Tubbs never went to war, but through the 175 letters in this book we see  how he tasted the turmoil of battle, the camaraderie of camp life, and the loneliness of the soldier far from home.  They voiced their patriotism, described dreadful scenes of combat, complained about their commanders, and yearned for family and friends.  Some wondered whether they would survive and return home. Cloth.  240 pp.
