Anthony W. Ross Civil War Letters Regarding Camp Life Save

Description: Anthony W. Ross wrote these letters to his wife Sarah while he was serving in the Union Army at Lookout Valley Tennessee during the Civil War. He writes about camp life, an unusual March snowstorm, and news about other soldiers from Fayette County, Ohio. The letters are four pages each and measure 5" x 8" (12.7 x 20.32 cm). Anthony W. Ross of Good Hope, Ohio enlisted in Company G. of the 73rd OVI (Ohio Volunteer Infantry) on March 23, 1862. He was discharged when his term of service expired on March 24, 1865. His letters to his wife were written from Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee. The 73rd OVI saw action at the second battle of Bull Run, where it lost 150 men, in August 1862. After a few months near Washington, D.C., the regiment fought in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, where another 143 men were killed. In the fall of 1863 they moved south to fight at Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge before joining General William Tecumseh Sherman at the Battle of Atlanta and on the infamous March to the Sea.
