Civil War Letter 11th KY- John Hunt Morgan

Item Details

Description

Letter written in German by Henry Winter of the 11th Kentucky Cavalry. Winter died of disease on August 18th, 1864 at the infamous Andersonville prison camp where he is buried. Two pages. Please see third photo listed for a full transcription of the letter. (Transcription courtesy of Alexander Foss)

Winter talks about life in camp and mentions that General John Hunt Morgan had recently been spotted in the area. He mentions that a “brother Bill” is chasing after General Morgan and ends the letter by saying “we live a free life in this camp, we have no king, no police, and no sorrow, and we live for the moment.”
