Letters from Laura to her fiance, George Carpenter Douglas, M.D., Surgeon, Union Army, 1864

Artist and Lincoln author, Lloyd Ostendorf, wrote (on back cover) "Letters from Laura" is a lovely story that takes you back to the true feelings of the Civil war days: the awful dread of loved ones dying in the war, the election year hysteria and stress, and the daily life and concerns of two educated and talented people in the love for each other, thriving on the letters alone. I am delighted with that 'staunch little Lincolnite lady' who tries so hard to get her husband-to-be to vote for 'Father Abraham.' Lincoln would have admired Laura".
