My Dear Wife: The Civil War Diary & Letters of Capt. John Quigley

John Quigley didn't perform great heroic feats, but he did carry out his duties with honor even while he suffered to see his family and grew angry when he couldn't obtain a furlough. He was very human. His diary and letters are a unique and personal view of regimental politics, camp life, battles, and the land in which he traveled. His papers create snapshots of historical events from one man's perspective.
