[Clement "Old Villain" Vallandigham hanging from the gallows, with a Union soldier standing guard]

Notes:

W[ilson] S. Beckley ALS to Mother [Sarah Sturdevant Beckley] + Co., June 4, 1863. Murfreesboro, Tn., page 3. From a collection of papers including dated material from April 12, 1862, through November 16, 1864. The collection of 16 letters provides a great deal of information on camp life in the 21st Michigan Volunteer Infantry as well as views towards the “rebels.” With the exception of one letter from a cousin named Julia and a discarded letter of a Confederate soldier that he found at a rebel camp describing the battle of Shiloh, all letters were written by Beckley to his mother.
