I'm even taking notes as I reread this book so I can create a map of Jacob's locations throughout the war. I then plan on visiting those sites later on. It is a great project to get my mind off a recent breakup.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Passion Longing Thru Civil WarBy NHBunionWith the Civil War's 150th anniversary coming soon reading actual correspondence between spouses of that era who were involved in the battles is fascinating.This book is loaded with interesting tidbits about the Civil War; an inside look from the battlefield perspective as narrated by Capt. Jacob Ritner; a Union officer; who wrote eloquent;passionate letters to his wife Emeline. His missives were full of his love longing; but apparently his wife didn't write as often; and when she did her letters were shorter didn't cover things Jacob repeatedly specifically asked about. She wasn't as forth-coming with terms of endearment as Jacob; whose effusive letters make his longing palpable.By book's end I felt I knew them both.This book is a fascinating look at Civil War deprivations; politics of the time; the boredom between battles; etc. Priceless!If you're a history buff this book would be a wonderful addition to your Civil War collection.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful; loving correspondenceBy Jessica JewettThis is still one of my favorite books years after I read it. The openness and honesty expressed between this couple should still serve as an example for couples today. Their love story is an inspiration.
