Letters Home

This collection of Private Newton Scott's letters covers his three years with the Iowa Infantry, in which he served as a clerk. Take a look at this take on the Civil War from a homesick 21-year-old soldier. More than just an account of battle movements, Scott's letters describe the life of an everyday soldier, from his frustrations with politics to homesickness, and hope for an end to the war.
