The letters written by James Harvey Armstrong during the War Between the States
have been compiled in book form. There are twenty-six letters written by J. H.
Armstrong to his wife and one letter written by Martha Coppedge, his wife, to
him. Research has been done on all the people mentioned in the letters that it
was possible to find information about. Battles mentioned have been described;
men who were wounded or died while in the 14th infantry are listed along with
place and date of death or wounds; political events mentioned have been
detailed; maps are included showing places mentioned and location of battles;
pictures of Camp Nelson Cemetery, family photos; photo of Armstrong family home,
and other events are pictured; and words to two songs sent home by Armstrong are
all included. There is a complete index and bibliography.
Even though some of these letters were published previously, this book gives
many details about people and events that have never been researched before in
connection with the letters. If you have an interest in the 14th Texas Infantry,
this book is a “must” to know what the men lived through during the Red River
Campaign in Louisiana and Arkansas. Of course, if you are a member of the
Armstrong or Coppedge family, the book will be of great interest to you.
The book is 8/12 by 11, soft back and is spiral bound. The cost is $25.00
including postage.
