Abstract
An analysis of United States Army soldiers' letters published in fifty Ohio newspapers in 1863 reveals that writers strove to maintain social, emotional, and political connections to readers on the home front during the rebellion. Soldiers wrote copious letters for publication conveying information as well as their views on the military and political issues of the moment. Newspaper editors encouraged soldiers to write and filled newspaper columns with combatants' letters.
