"What the Private Saw" is definitely one of the very best of the many published collections of Civil War letters and diaries. Pvt. O. F. Sweet of the 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery wrote prolifically to members of his family and kept a diary from 1863 until just after the close of the war. . . . Numerous period photographs supplement the account. "What the Private Saw" does just that-provide a very clear picture of the Civil War as seen and experienced by a private soldier of the Union. -Gene C. Armistead, author Horses and Mules in the Civil War "The generals did not see what the privates saw." So wrote U.S. Civil War veteran Pvt. Oney Foster Sweet, 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery, 43rd Pennsylvania Volunteers (14th Reserves) Battery F (Ricketts' Battery), 1861-1865. His previously unpublished letters, diaries, and retrospective pieces offer a unique glimpse of the war from the view of a private simply trying to survive a deadly conflagration in which one in five combatants perished. This first-hand account of what the private saw is a distinctive addition to the many existing volumes on the American Civil War. The book is edited and annotated by Larry M. Edwards, an award-winning author, editor, and investigative journalist.

Too comfy and adorable 🀩
These socks are super soft and comfy, so cozy. These are the best feel good socks. The material is medium thick, so soft and fluffy. You may find a couple of fluff pieces here and there in your bed or floor after a while. They're still great socks to enjoy and lounge around in. I would suggest turning them inside out when you wash them. A good price for them too.

Soft fluffy socks for a comfortable sleep
Style: 1 Pair, Color: Men's Heather Charcoal, Style: 1 Pair, Color: Men's Heather Charcoal
I am a woman with size 8.5 or 9 feet. I purchased the heather (salt and pepper) pair of these for men, because I was tired of socks that squeezed my toes together. So these have a few inches of extra space at the toes, which is more comfortable for me, since I got these to sleep in. I am including a photo of these next to my usual too tight socks for comparison. When I took off my usual highly elastic tight socks and put these on I literally breathed a sigh of relief. These will keep my feet warm without being constrained. These are neither thick nor thin, but fluffy and very soft. I suggest that anyone who gets these is careful about taking off the small plastic piece that attaches the two socks together. Don't just yank the two socks apart, use some scissors to carefully remove that little piece. Also I suggest hand washing these. Recommended for those of us ladies who are tired of socks that squeeze their toes, for sleeping, and around the house.
