x, 11-140 p. incl. front. (port.).

Ex-library of the Connecticut Historical Society with old bookplate on front inside cover noting presentation by F.F. Starr, a relative of Brewer's--and a presentation in ink to "Louise G. Benham, 1863 from Father" on front flyleaf. Brewer, a native of Middletown, CT enlisted in Captain Elijah Gibbon's Company B of the 14th Connecticut on 6 August 1862 and died of disease on April 2, 1863. He served as a Clerk on the staff of General William French. The volume, written by Rev. Jeremiah Taylor, pastor of the 1st Congregational Church in Middletown, and Brewer's pastor, includes several excerpts from Brewer's letters, including his detailed description of the Antietam Battlefield just two days after the Battle. The book is in very good condition--tight and clean.
