Description
"Voices from the Attic" is the story of two brothers, [William Henry Martin and Francis Smith Martin] who witnessed and help to make history by fighting in the Peninsula Campaign, then at South Mountain, Antietam, Fredersicksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, and Cedar Creek. They preserved history through their suprisingly detailed and insightful letters [mostly to their father, Chester Martin in Williamstown, Vermont]. William H. Martin was a second lieutenant in the Fourth Vermont Infantry, and Francis S. Martin was a private in the Second Vermont Infantry.
