About this listen

Dive into a personal narrative of the American Civil War through the poignant letters of a soldier to the girl he left behind, who ultimately became his wife. This unique perspective offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the Second New Hampshire Regiment, bringing a human touch to the historical events we often study. Beyond his service, Haynes carved out an impressive life as a newspaper editor, served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, and held the position of clerk for the county Supreme Court. He also presided over the New Hampshire Veterans Association and represented New Hampshire in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1883 to 1887. Later, he played a crucial role in establishing the Internal Revenue Service of the Philippines while working in the Treasury Department. (Summary by Lynne Thompson)
