"Letters Written Home in the Years 1864-5" offers a fascinating glimpse into North America during the final years of the Civil War and its immediate aftermath. Through the eyes of William Thomas Newmarch, readers journey across Canada, experience the bustling metropolis of New York, and witness the political heart of Washington D.C.

This collection of letters provides an invaluable primary source for anyone interested in 19th-century North American life and history.
