Welcome to our site. This was originally conceived as a place to display the text of our family letters. The original concept is still here but has expanded to include other information, graphics, links, essays, unit and battle information.

In brief: The collection of letters included are from our family collection which were donated to a museum in Daphne Alabama. There are more than seventy letters dating from 1860-1865. Our family is descended from the John C. Harrison family of Evergreen Alabama. The letters are written by my Great-great Grandfather, John C. Harrison, his wife and family. Although they generally would have been considered mundane when written, 140 years passing has greatly increased their importance and significance through the most turbulent time in the history of the United States.

I have recently added the full collection of High Resolution images of all the letters and documents I had available. I added a collection of Maps from the Civil War Period. These have been downloaded from the Library of Congress and are free to use as you please. To view the maps you will need the Mr SID Viewer which is available on the map page or click HERE.

The letter scans are free to download only for personal use and are not to be sold or made available for a fee. They are not authorized for linking or uploading to other websites. If you wish to link to these images, please link to the respective pages on this site. No hot-linking of images please.

This site is new and will be updated and added to as time allows. Thank you for visiting.
