Abstract

This is a study of the Civil War through the letters of Cornelius L. Moore, a New York soldier in the Army of the Potomac. His letters span the years between August 1861- August 1864 and reveal a typical Union soldier's attitudes and experiences. Moore discussed such topics as the draft, the use of black soldiers, army leadership, and soldier life. His insight and frankness about these and other subjects make this story more than simply another account of a Civil War participant.
