Sinopsis

The letters include tragedies of Dickensian nature and scale, but unlike Charles Dickens&rsquo,s tales, they&rsquo,re not fiction. They are supplemented by eighty-six documents, photographs, and ephemera. With one exception, the letters have not been subjected to historians&rsquo, interpretations and inferences. This provides inquisitive readers the opportunity to form their own inferences and conclusions from primary source documents.Ebenezer Brambley (1815&ndash,1884). Described as a hellfire and brimstone preacher, he brought his wife and nine surviving children to America knowing America was on the brink of war&mdash,he knew seven states had already seceded from the Union.Samuel Brambley (1845&ndash,1928). After his mother died in 1889, while his siblings were fighting over the silver service, he collected the family Bible and his father&rsquo,s collection of letters. And family oral history says he never threw away a letter.
