 This collection consists of nine letters written during the American Civil War. In three letters to his sister, Van Norman describes his time in Nelson General Hospital at Camp Nelson, Kentucky. The five letters to his father were written from Strawberry Plains and describe the skirmishes he was in, interactions with prisoners, and catching fish and eels in the river. The last letter, written by Lieutenant Wallace W. Dickinson, informs the Van Norman family of Benjamin's bravery and death.
