Letter from George at camp outside of Nashville to his sister Eliza, 1862 March 2
Four miles outside the city of Nashville, which is now in the hands of Union troops, George complains that rebels have destroyed bridges on the Cumberland as well as steamboats, solely to keep them out of Union hands. He explains that he is writing of what he does and sees because he wants them back home to know what a soldier goes through.
