What is Hard times, hard bread, and harder coffee : the Civil War correspondence of Hezekiah Long, Company F, 20th Maine Infantry about?

"When President Lincoln issued his call in 1862 for 300,00 more troops, thirty-seven year old Hezekiah Long was among those to volunteer. He enlisted in September of 1862 as a private in the 20th Maine Infantry Regiment. Of equal importance to American Civil War history as his service, is the survival of the 128 letters he composed to his wife Sarah. In them he recounts his wartime experiences and chronicles the major campaigns of the 20th Maine. On a more personal level, he writes home about poor food, late pay, the weather, poor living conditions, disease, and his recurring battle with rheumatism"--Page 4 of cover
