True story of love and life during the Civil War
This is the true story of a young couple who just started their family in Lake Zurich, Illinois when the Civil War broke out. Based on letters from Joseph Whitney to his wife Mary Jane Delano Whitney, the letters reveal the concerns of the times on the battlefield and at home on the farm which Mary was left to manage with new baby Clara. Often the letters from Joseph are signed with, "Kiss Clara for me...." Perhaps I am a bit more touched by the story since I am Clara's Great-Granddaughter, however, you can just feel the love in the letters as well as the interesting discussion of the politics of the time, such as whether President Lincoln will be re-elected and the loving instructions Joseph gives to Mary on managing the farm, how to handle sales transactions to be sure she is not taken advantage of. In addition to the letters, the author, who is also a descendant, documents troop movement and local and national news of the times.
