Hello,

I recently inherited some letters from a great, great. etc. grandfather that was in the 11th Cav. His name was Edwin West. The letters are fascinating. They speak of time in Camp Butler, Martinsburg, a raid into Virginia, and the first day of Battle at Gettysburg. These are rich detailed letters. They speak og General Buford. He mentions that he has seen Abe Lincoln and many major generals in a parade of 20 to 30K Union Soldiers. Just curious if anyone can tell me more about the 11th Cav.

Thanks
