Born in 1834, Hall enlisted as a private in the 21st on August 23, 1861. He received a disability discharge in Washington, D. C. on June 11, 1863. By 1870, Hall had married, and the federal census for that year lists William and wife Lydia (1844-1916) living in Springfield, Massachusetts with two young children, with William Hall working as a maker of kindling wood. By 1880, the Halls were living in Worcester County, Massachusetts, where they kept a boarding house. William P.

Hall, a Union soldier during the American Civil War, written from  various camps in Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia. The letters are all addressed to his aunt and uncle (E. G. Hall) in Worcester, Massachusetts. On October 6, 1861, Hall writes that he will not do a cook's work unless he is given a cook's pay, then notes that several men in the company are to be discharged due to their size, and he complains of the regiment's lack of food, firewood, and shoes. Hall mentions the unlikelihood that Col. Morse will ever lead his regiment into battle and the recent death of Lt. Stoddard while drunk on picket duty. Writing on November 7 from Annapolis, Hall mentions an upcoming expedition with the 25th and recent inspections by the secretaries of war and navy, General Burnside, and Massachusetts Governor John Andrew. On January 5, 1863, Hall writes from a hospital at Falmouth, Virginia, noting that he cannot perform kitchen duty, not being strong enough to lift a pail of water. \"I had a nice present New years day of a spanish fly blister,\" Hall writes, \"which caused a nice tickling sensation to steal all over me but it didnt last long but 30 hours and then it was all over with and done me good after all.\" In his letter of June 20, 1862, written at Camp Andrews, North Carolina, Hall notes his recent return to duty, mentions that the regiment continues to grow smaller every day and that there is soon to be a new hospital built that will include a bowling alley. The letters are accompanied by four stamped envelopes","The copyright status of this collection is unknown. Copyright restrictions may apply.

The son of William Fanning and Anne Butler Carter Wickham, Williams Wickham was born in Richmond, Virginia but reared on his father's plantation, Hickory Hill, in Hanover County. He graduated from the University of Virginia and was admitted to the Virginia bar in 1842 but seems to have devoted much of his time to managing Hickory Hill. He married Lucy Penn Taylor, and the couple had four children. Wickham was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1849 and also served as the presiding justice on the Hanover County court.

After First Manassas, Wickham was commissioned colonel of the Fourth Virginia Cavalry. At the Battle of Williamsburg, Wickham was wounded and captured but soon paroled and healed. Wounded again after the Battle of Antietam, Wickham had rejoined his regiment by late 1862 and participated in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He was promoted to brigadier general on September 9, 1863. Wickham resigned his commission on October 4, 1864, and assumed the Confederate Congress seat to which he had been elected in the spring of 1863.","Just weeks after the cessation of hostilities, Wickham joined the Republican Party, providing his reasons in an open letter which estranged many of his colleagues. The former general was elected president of the Virginia Central Railroad Company in November 1865, and when that line merged with the Covington \u0026 Ohio Railroad in 1868 to become the C\u0026O, Wickham was retained as the new company's president. He served as vice-president of the company from 1869 to 1878, when the company went into foreclosure, with Wickham as receiver. Under reorganization of the company, Wickham served as second vice-president. During this time, he maintained an active political life, being elected chairman of the Hanover County board of supervisors in 1871 and a state senator in 1883.

In 1858, he became captain of a unit of Virginia militia cavalry, and in 1859 was elected as a Whig to the state senate.","Wickham voted against the ordinance of secession in the 1861 Virginia convention, but once secession had been effected, he and his company, the Hanover Dragoons, joined the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. After First Manassas, Wickham was commissioned colonel of the Fourth Virginia Cavalry. At the Battle of Williamsburg, Wickham was wounded and captured but soon paroled and healed. Wounded again after the Battle of Antietam, Wickham had rejoined his regiment by late 1862 and participated in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. He was promoted to brigadier general on September 9, 1863. Wickham resigned his commission on October 4, 1864, and assumed the Confederate Congress seat to which he had been elected in the spring of 1863.","Just weeks after the cessation of hostilities, Wickham joined the Republican Party, providing his reasons in an open letter which estranged many of his colleagues. The former general was elected president of the Virginia Central Railroad Company in November 1865, and when that line merged with the Covington \u0026 Ohio Railroad in 1868 to become the C\u0026O, Wickham was retained as the new company's president. He served as vice-president of the company from 1869 to 1878, when the company went into foreclosure, with Wickham as receiver. Under reorganization of the company, Wickham served as second vice-president. During this time, he maintained an active political life, being elected chairman of the Hanover County board of supervisors in 1871 and a state senator in 1883. He held all of these positions at the time of his death on July 23, 1888."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe guide to the Williams C.
