The 1861 Stibbs Family Civil War Era Letters (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This extraordinary collection of 1861 correspondence from the Stibbs family, written just before and during the Civil War, serves as a bridge through time, connecting us to their lives through stories of courage, faith, and resilience. The Stibbs boys were raised in Wooster, Wayne County, Ohio, as the children of Reasin Beall Stibbs and Emeline (Sprague) Stibbs. As young men they eventually moved westward in search of new opportunities. John H. "Jack" Stibbs, the first of four brothers to volunteer for service, joined the First Iowa Volunteer Infantry. As a young, ambitious man with good connections, he faithfully exchanged letters with his family, offering an intimate glimpse into the turmoil of military life and the quiet struggles at home. The Stibbs family-educated, principled, and deeply religious-wrote with warmth and honesty, inviting readers to witness the Civil War as they did, not as a distant chapter in history but as a vivid, unfolding reality. Many of these letters, originally penned in their Federal-era home-which still stands today in Wooster as the Beall-Stibbs House on the campus of the Wayne County Historical Society of Ohio-open a rare window into the life and spirit of a family bound by love and enduring faith during one of America's most turbulent times.
