Description
Both items concern Civil War activities in North Carolina. The letter (April 1862) was written by a Union soldier of the Rhode
Island Volunteers to his mother describing the successful bombardment of Fort Macon, including strategy and weapons used.
Also included is a brief comment on Beaufort, N.C.
The circular (July 1863) was issued by Brigadier General B. H. Robertson and was intended for regimental commanders. It pertains to the necessity of grazing horses at regulated hours and controlling their movements rather than allowing them to wander over fields.
