Brothers 'til Death: The Civil War Letters of William, Thomas, and Maggie Jones 1861-1865 - edited by Richard Trimble Irish Brothers in the 48th New York Volunteer Regiment From the dustjacket: Brothers 'til Death is a collection of over 100 letters written mostly between two Irish brothers and their sister from New Jersey. Serving in the 48th New York Volunteer regiment, Thomas and William Jones wrote their sister Maggie, a school teacher in West Farms, New Jersey. But Maggie also received letters from friends of the family who also served in the 48th New York. Brought together in this unique collection the activity of the 48th New York comes to life. The letters are filled with emotions, patriotic ebullience from 1861 through the dismal sentimentalities of 1864, and the hopeful conclusions of 1865. The 48th New York served in the coastal campaign, an often overlooked but important campaign during the war. Item Condition: This is a new hardcover.
