Abstract:

Letters between Alfred Gurganious and his wife Susan Jane (DeBose) Gurganious offer a personal account of the day to day anxieties and frustrations that separation brought during the Civil War. In 1861, Alfred enlisted in the North Carolina State Troops, leaving Susan with six children and a farm to manage in New Hanover.
