Ever wondered what the Civil War soldiers really thought just before they went into battle? Or after battle? How they handled fear, death, hunger, pain and loneliness? How did civilians and loved ones back home handle the war? Through the use of authentic accounts, letters, diaries, newspaper stories and many other original eyewitness and first-hand accounts, Grapevine Dispatches is committed to letting the people who experienced the Civil War tell their own stories. When possible we post a letter or diary entry on the exact date it was originally published. Grapevine Dispatches gives the reader a day-by-day look upon the Civil War.
