Civil War letter home from Henry Albee (1 of 2)

The Charlemont Historical Society has two letters that Charlemont native Henry Albee wrote home to his mother, Martha Albee, while he served in the 52nd Regiment, Massachusetts Infantry. His letters mix stark descriptions of war-time experiences and fond recollections of life back in Charlemont. Henry died on the way home in the summer of 1863.
