SOLDIERS "GOT DRUNK AND GOT TO FIGHTING"

Item Details

Description

SOLDIERS ""GOT DRUNK AND GOT TO FIGHTING"" A great war-date sixteen-year-old soldier's letter 2pp. 8vo. written by Pvt. Edward B. Holt (severely wounded in the leg at Drewry's Bluff Va. May 13 64) Co. E 3rd N.H. Vols. Gloucester Point Va. May 1 1864 in part: ""…we left Jacksonville sunday morning…the boat was a poor concern. It rolled pretty well. We were most all sick…we got onto the [Hilton] Head on Monday. We went rite aboard the North Star. She is a good boat…the 97th P. V. were on with us and we had a rough set. They got drunk and got to fighting. The officer of the day shot one man and there was a bloody set but we got through safe to Fortress Monroe…the 28th we came to Yorktown. We are opposite Yorktown…yesterday we had General review by General Terry and Gen. Butler. There is about 15 000 troops on this side as near as we can calculate. The old Gen looks stern and sober…as if he might do something and meant to soon…we will trust in him who rules for the result of the conflict…"". With cover.
