In addition to photos of the Grant home in Valley Plains (near Pine Mountain, Georgia) and various members of the family, there is a cache of 18 letters written by three brothers (James Henry Grant, George Addison Grant, and William C. Grant) to their parents during their service in the Confederate Army, mainly from Virginia. The letters are photocopies, some of very faded letters. There are some issues with dating, and the transcriptions, but they provide a rich first-hand experience of camp life during the Civil War. Letter 3 was written on April 3, 1862while William Grant was ill with measles in a hospital in Ashland, Virginia (near Richmond). Letter 4 describes the defense of Richmond, the Battle of Fair Oaks-Seven Pines. Letter 6 tells of William’s participation in the Battle of Cedar Mountain on the 9 of August, 1862 and asks for the family to send him some shoes. Letter 7 describes fighting in Maryland and taking Harper’s Ferry, adding “Pa we have had the worst time you ever saw fighting and marching.” In a letter dated September 30 (?) 1862 he is Bunkers Hill (near Winchester, Virginia). In letter 11, dated December the 17, 1862 he is encamped near Fredericksburg. He describes various wounds and amputations that friends have received. Letter 14 is written by William Baswell, Lieut. Commander of Company K, 35th Georgia Regiment to William’s father announcing the William had died the 2 of September from a congestive fever. There are also some later letters concerning the same family.
