I have the letters my 3rd great grandfather wrote home during the civil war and was wondering what is the best way to preserve them for future generations.
I haven't read all of them but I did read where a barrel of flour was 200.00 and he was telling my grandmother to sell some hogs to have enough money to buy it. He was in the 17th Ga Co. K. He was killed May 6 1864 at the Battle of the Wilderness
The best WBTS book I ever read is a compilation of letters sent home. A guy who is a member of our SCV camp edited the book. The title is “Dear Sallie”.
You guys may want to consider something like that.
