Cornelius L. Moore: A Northern Soldier's Perspective On The Civil War, Roger T. Crew Jr.

History Theses & Dissertations

This is a study of the Civil War through the letters of Cornelius L. Moore, a New York soldier in the Army of the Potomac. His letters span the years between August 1861- August 1864 and reveal a typical Union soldier's attitudes and experiences. Moore discussed such topics as the draft, the use of black soldiers, army leadership, and soldier life.
