Excellent 37 letter lot written by William L. Savage of the 10th Connecticut Infantry, who was WIA at Deep Bottom Run. Savage's correspondence began in late 1861 and continued through the summer of 1864. On 4 December 1861, ''…Everyday we have to drill by the battalion in the morning and in company drill in the afternoon. In the line of battle our co. is the next to the left…'' 6 March 1862, ''…Yesterday our cavalry brought in thirty cavalry prisoners we have about one hundred contraband employed in building a neat little breastwork; they have a white band around their hat, with United States Servant printed on it in large letters. It seems to please them very much and they work like good fellows, they have an idea that we came down here to liberate them all, and they claim our protection. Their condition when we came here was miserable indeed, on account of the scarcity of everything and exceedingly high food, but one can see a difference in them already since we came. They will pick up more hard money after we are paid than many of them ever saw before…'' 17 March 1862 after the Battle of New Berne, ''…In the engagement we had three wounded, two of them mortally. Sergt. Joseph A. Lombard mortal wound in the head, the ball passed through his eye and lodged in his head. Corporal George Dayton brother of John Dayton, at Greenwich, wound in the side, very severe, but he is still alive. James MacDonald wound in the head, ball entered his head just by his ear, and lodged in the back part of his head passing below his brains, he lived until day before yesterday…'' 1 April 1862, ''…There has been quite a sad accident in on of our companies (Co. B) this afternoon as one of the men was cleaning his rifle it went off and shot one of his comrades, wounding him seriously in the side. The young man who was shot the other day died yesterday morning and was buried yesterday. There was two funerals from our regiment yesterday and one from another near us…'' 16 August 1862, ''…we came to the plantation of this Union loving man, with a protection from General Burnside, he lives in a large brick mansion he said he had lost most all his niggers some sixty head he had lost…'' 17 April 1863, ''…We are very anxious here for things about Charleston to come to a crisis in some way. If General Hunter does not know any more about the place he is going to attack; than he does about the expedition he sent to this, or rather, about this island, he will never take it. General Hunter is one in whom his troops do not put any confidence…'' 6 August 1863, ''…Our siege has been busy firing now since before light yesterday morning. Evening toward night the firing slackened with the heavy guns but I believe the bombardment is to be kept up all night, and in the morning an assault is to be made on the fort by General Stevenson's brigade. God grant it may be successful…'' 27 September 1863, ''…One man was cleaning his gun, he put a cap on and snapped it the gun exploded and passing out of his tent crossed the street and into one of the men, in both legs, about six inches above the ankle. One leg will have to be amputated, very bad wounds. The wounded man belongs in Co. E, the other in Company G. The man was placed under arrest immediately…'' 9 October 1863, ''…We were up in Gregg over most forward battery. Quite near to Sumter and Moultrie and the batteries on Sullivan and James Island the James Island batteries gave particular attention to Battery Wagner (more properly Fort) it is very dangerous work on that end of the island the range is so short, one scarcely has time to get under cover before the shot is there, there was some very narrow escapes. But only one man was hurt and he was killed, nearly cut in two by a piece of shell…'' 22 October 1863, ''…George Jariman died last night, was buried this afternoon he is a brother to the one that was killed in the trenches in the siege of Wagner. The Tenth Regiment is not what it was two years ago, nor one year, nor ever will be again…'' 26 May 1864, ''…we have some slight reverses from time to time but they are all more than counterbalanced by the successes of the two great armies under Grant and Sherman, those two armies continuing their successful career, will soon bring the war to a close whatever may happen elsewhere…'' 12 June 1864, ''…You wish to know what I think of the Cleveland Convention? I do not think much of it, or that it is any honor to the men composing, as for General Fremont, I think as one writer says of his acceptance, that it is his last blow on his trumpet…'' 6 August 1864, ''…Last evening about sunset, we heard a tremendous artillery firing in the direction of Petersburg. The most artillery firing we have heard from them, at any time since we have been here. It very much resembled the firing we heard at the battle of Cold Harbor…'' Most letters accompanied by envelopes. An outstanding Civil War archive in very good condition.
