Fox Lake’s Civil War News and Letters A Small Town’s Civil War Story From the forming of Militia Units, through the homecoming of the Veterans. This is not the story of one man, but the story of many men from one city living different facets of the same conflict, as well as the stories of their loved ones at home awaiting their return and the end of the war. This book has been several years in the making using materials from the Fox Lake Historical Room in the Fox Lake Public Library. Much of this information exists nowhere else in print, since it has been compiled from the Fox Lake newspapers now on microfilm and from letters in the historical room archives. This is one of the most useful first hand accounts of local reaction to the civil war you will ever read, and will be largely representative of any small town in the Union during the Civil War. Civil War reenactors will find this a bottomless well of information on camp life, civilian living, and personal thoughts on the civil war. Every reenactor should have their own copy to read, compare to, and learn from! The first-hand accounts in the soldier’s own words are weighted by the reporter’s personal thoughts on the same subjects and the civilian opinions and letters from home. This book is more than 265 pages (double side printed) with a color cover under a clear plastic protective cover and a heavy cardboard backing. It is thermal bound with a heavy black spine with gold lettering. This is as close to a hard cover as you can get with the expected quantity we wish to print. This will be a deluxe book well worth the published price and it can now be yours at the discounted pre-publishing rate!
