Linda Foster Arden
About Her Book
Based on a collection of 101 letters written by Lt. Foster, mostly to his wife, while serving with the 155th Regiment Pa. Volunteers, Company K. Skillfully interspersed with Linda Arden's commentary about the events and situations of the era, these letters are a time capsule of the mid-nineteenth century.
