Stafford County (Va.)

The Civil War brought Lincoln to rural Stafford County, Virginia, six different times for a total of fourteen days. These visits in 1862 and 1863 are described as depicted in soldiers' letter, journals, newspaper articles, a war correspondent's notes, drawings and photographs.

Over 135,000 Union soldiers came to Stafford during the Civil War. This book relates the stories of six unique individuals who visited the area. The writings of these soldiers, nurses, and civilians help paint a picture of what Stafford and Fredericksburg were like during this devastating war.
