“Theas Few Lines” The Civil War Letters of Private Alonzo D. Bump

September 29, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

David Handy, author of the recently released book Theas Few Lines: The Civil War Letters of Private Alonzo D. Bump, 77th New York State Voluntary Infantry will present the Civil War experiences of Alonzo Bump as expressed in his letters home to his wife Mary and other family members. David will touch on many aspects of Alonzo’s life as a soldier, including camp life, poor rations, disease, marching, combat, desertion, commanding officers, the enemy, military pay, and other topics. Books will be available for signing.

Saratoga County History Center is fortunate enough to have a collection of the Civil War Letters of Private Alonzo D. Bump, many of which were used in Mr. Handy’s research.

This in-person event is free, but donations are always welcomed and appreciated.
