A Civil War Captain and his Lady: by Gene Barr:  A remarkable collection of letters where  readers come to know two young lovers brought together and then separated by exigencies of war.  From their values and social customers to their spirituality and politics that divided the nation, communities, and even families, these letters provide us with a more comprehensive view of the fabric of everyday life in Civil War America and yearnings of young soldiers and civilians for the return to a normalcy they all knew would be different when the guns fell silent.
