When the Civil War was over, Daniel Chisholm transcribed the letters he and his brother had written home, as well as a friend's wartime diary, into a private notebook. ``The diary and letters are studded with memorable verbal snapshots of the battles and in-between times from the pragmatic viewpoint of the enlisted man,'' wrote PW , calling this volume ``a rare find.''
