The book 'Letters to Lizzie: The Story of Sixteen Men in the Civil War and the Woman Who Connected Them All' chronicles the daily lives of soldiers.
Thomas Wick, a Civil War soldier who corresponded with Lizzie Brick. Lizzie Brick, who grew up in the Hurffville section of Gloucester County, had many friends who went off to fight for the Union during the Civil War.
“This book has an appeal to people who aren’t Civil War scholars,” said Scythes, an assistant professor of history at West Chester University, and president of the Gloucester County Historical Society. “Every one of us can put ourselves in the place of Lizzie and her friends. How did you do that in the 19th century? We don’t have Twitter, you don’t have texting. Lizzie is the hub, the one who communicates with all of them.
Scythes said the collection is unique for Civil War-era letters because all of them are written to one person from 15 soldiers and a quartermaster at a military hospital.
