Lucius P. Mox (1862-1865)

Lucius Mox was a baker during the war and served in several different units, including the 101st Pennsylvania and the 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry. The letters collected here are to his sweetheart, Jennie. He tells many stories of camp life and writes repeatedly about how much he misses Jennie and the rest of his friends and family at home.
