Shouts & Whispers: The Civil War Correspondence of D.D. Priest of Mount Holly, Vermont
The women in my family, beginning with D.D.P.'s wife Emeline, were charged with preserving his letters and the task has been carried out to the present time. His granddaughter, my mother  Flossie Priest Dana. knew both DDP and Emeline very well, and  some of my earliest memories are of hearing her say, "We have to do something with Grandpa's letters." Unfortunately I was busy teaching  English in the local high school and didn't get to the task before she died. I feel, by getting the letters published for all to read, I have fulfilled her dream.
