A collection of 37 items from a Union captain. Includes 26 wardate letters, 10 envelopes, and 1 carte-de-visite. Written from the training base at Camp Maine, Brooklyn, New York. Describing in detail his duties as an officer, he often finds the army impossible, and his fellow officers aggravating. However he appears to be dedicated to his job and to serving his country. After the war, Sturtevant became a nationally prominent botanist.
