This collection contains close to 40 Civil War letters written between the Dixon family with some related Jordan family letters. Most were written by men in the family who were soldiers in the Union Army primarily in Company K, 47th Regiment of Illinois Volunteers as well as a few letters from Company E, 112th Regiment of Illinois Volunteers. The Lemuel Dixon family was residing in Stark County, Illinois, during this war-time period. Letters contain news pertaining to the soldier's health as well as other soldiers from the same community back home, camp conditions, troop movements, hospital conditions, politics, and the Rebels.
