Amazon Top New Release in Civil War Regimentals and History

For four years Luther Strong wrote 44 heartfelt letters home as he courts his future wife, Mary Milliman.

He grapples with his emotions as the initial adventure of war turns violent and bloody. Luther comes to know hardship, hunger and grief, yet tries to find solace where he can – in nature, battlefield successes and his budding relationship with Mary.

Intended at the time for Mary’s eyes only, Luther’s Letters take today’s readers back to the most tumultuous time in our nation’s history. These letters are articulate and insightful, and a significant addition to Civil War scholarship, and to helping people of today feel in a very deep way the struggles of Americans of that time.

Advance Reader Praise for Right and Duty:

  Through soaring hope and aching heartbreak, these words carry you to the front lines of both war and the soul. The emotion here isn’t just powerful l... it’s unforgettable, and you will carry it long after the final page.
