Holt Civil War Letters
Letters written during the Civil War by Warren and Lewis Holt to their sister, Caroline Holt Flemings, is the topic of this historical lecture. Quoting from the introduction to Eleanor Munch's 1982 transcription of the Holt Civil War letters: "Reading these letters provides us rare glimpses into our Nation's past ... a period most of us would prefer to forget. Yet here is a new view of life and hopes and travail of our growing nation -- a nation which is stronger because of men like Lewis and Warren...and because of schoolteacher Caroline who encouraged and supported her brothers and our Nation through these difficult times. And without her diligence in saving these remembrances, we would be much poorer for never having these glimpses of our past."
