ALS 4.pp October 22, 1864 Letter from Charles Berry Senior to his Father

Settled in quarters in Rome, Georgia, Charles now writes about the battle of Allatoona Pass (October 5, 1864) that his brigade missed participating in due to a railroad accident. However, Charles does witness the aftermath, describing the battlefield and the wounded in gruesome detail. He also complains of no pay and lack of paper and stamps.
