WordStage: Civil War Love Letters
7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
When he wasn't marching, fighting, or setting up camp, the Civil War soldier might take a few moments to write to his loved ones at home. Many soldiers had left behind a wife or sweetheart, and to them they would compose sweet, poignant, and occasionally funny letters that give life and personality to the participants in this great national conflict. These letters show their sorrows of being apart, fears that the soldier would not return home, and hopes for the future after the war's end. The letters, presented by WordStage readers Tim Tavcar and Agnes Herrmann and underscored with the poignant music of the Civil War Era played by violinist Mary Beth Ions, portray many sides of the soldier in love. Part of the Tales and Chronicles of the Civil War series.
