[edit] Letters

Reed's letters are contemporaneous evidence of the mood of the western army for a long period of the Civil War. Mainly they show a character development that paralleled the development of the war from pointless slaughter to a meaningful chapter in American history. Documentation of this type provides the basis for the kind of historiography that gets us into the times being written about.

How about providing a source of the information to show that you didn't make it up?--Kranar drogin 00:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
