註釋Charles Barber of Java Village, N.Y., enlisted in Company A, 104th N.Y. Volunteer Infantry, on Oct. 8, 1861, and was discharged from the regiment on Oct. 31, 1864. During his tenure in the 104th, Charles participated in thirteen battles (including 2nd Bull Run, Antietam and Gettysburg), marched over 8,000 miles, and was wounded in the battle of Spotsylvania Court House, Virginia.Charles Barber was an avid writer. While serving with the Union forces, he wrote at least 135 letters home to his family. These letters have been preserved and are the subject of this work. The letters are interspersed with an historical account of the 104th N.Y. Volunteers, prepared by Civil War enthusiast and Town of Java Village Historian, Raymond G. Barber.The "character" (i.e., spelling, punctuation, capitalization) of the original letters has been maintained. Photographs of selected members of the 104th are included. Appendices describe reunions of the 104th, and list members of the regiment who served from Wyoming Co., N.Y. A comprehensive bibliography and an all name and place index complete the work.NOTE: When this work was com- pleted in 1991, it was the only published history of the 104th New York Volunteer Infantry. The authors are not aware of any other publications on this unit since then.
