Henry, Josiah E., 1840-?

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Sister

Writes that they are within shooting distance of the rebels' fort and have been for over a week. Thinks that there will be some fighting here since the fort is harder to get at than Fort Donelson. The surrounding area is all woods, and the woods are all swamps; they are in the mud and water, which is very deep. Writes that they "carried the great fort at Young Mills at the point of the bayonet, although we did not see more than a bakers dozen of rebels. Has been on picket duty extremely close to the rebels' fort. While on post, he looked down and saw a crowd of rebel men. The rebels…

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Mother

Many men have caught Dysentery from the bad water. States that they "lost 500 men from this brigade while across the river and the Corps lost 6000." Writes that the army was put into "the shape of a horseshoe with the heel resting on the river." It was a pleasant and sunny day, but there was enough wind to lift the smoke out of the guns so anyone could see every rebel, even if you were a mile away. Claims that the rebels must have lost four men to every Union man killed because the rebels had four lines of battle, whereas they only had one line in front. Found out by the prisoners that…
