Harley Wayne Civil War Letter Transcriptions

At present, Robert Frenz (president of the McHenry County Civil War Round Table (Illinois) and also a member of the McHenry County  Historical Society  and Linda  Eder of the Society are in the process of transcribing approximately sixty  Civil War-related letters written by Harley Wayne.

I have been writing at great length about him in this blog lately.

He was a prominent figure in McHenry County before the war and was killed on the first day of the Battle of Shiloh.

The Society also has a collection of his pre-Civil War letters.
