The Burckmyer Letters: March 1863-June, 1865

Description

“First edition. This compendium of correspondence between Cornelius L. Burckmyer and his wife, edited by Charlotte R. Holmes, provides considerable insight into life on both sides of the Atlantic during the Civil War. As members of a prominent Charleston family, the Burckmyers were well acquainted with the higher echelons of that city's society. The letters written from Charleston provide valuable information about social life in one of the Confederacy's most important centers and reflect the thoughts and concerns of informed members of the South's upper class. The letters from France reflect the perspective of the small Confederate community that lived abroad during the war, performing official business for the confederate government, and securing aid for the cause from private parties. THE BURCKMYER LETTERS comprise a touching monument to the trials and tribulations of a loving couple often separated by geography but always united in spirit.”
