When North and South went to war, millions of American families endured their first long separation. For men in the armies—and their wives, children, parents, and siblings at home—letter writing was the sole means to communicate. Yet for many of these Union and Confederate families, taking pen to paper was a new and daunting task. I Remain Yours narrates the Civil War from the perspective of ordinary people who had to figure out how to salve the emotional strain of war and sustain their closest relationships using only the written word. Christopher Hager presents an intimate history of the Civil War through the interlaced stories of common soldiers and their families. The previously overlooked words of a carpenter from Indiana, an illiterate teenager from Connecticut, a grieving mother in the mountains of North Carolina, and a blacksmith’s daughter on the Iowa prairie reveal through their awkward script and expression the personal toll of war. Is my son alive or dead? Returning soon or never? Can I find words for the horrors I’ve seen or the loneliness I feel? Fear, loss, and upheaval stalked the lives of Americans straining to connect the battlefront to those they left behind. Hager shows how relatively uneducated men and women made this new means of communication their own, turning writing into an essential medium for sustaining relationships and a sense of belonging. Letter writing changed them and they in turn transformed the culture of letters into a popular, democratic mode of communication.
"John Shrode, the father of all the Shrodes of this branch, was a very prominent man in the early colonial days of Pennsylvania. He served in the Revoloutionary War ... was an Indian fighter, and an outstanding pioneer. There are no records of his birth and death. We know he married an Irish girl, but do not know her name. ... It is thought that John Shrode and his two brothers, Jacob and Henry came to America in about 1761 or 1762"--Page 139. John settled in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania prior to 1789. The names of his parents are unknow. "It is family tradition that ... they were an aristocrat family and ruled over a feudal state in Germany in what is now called Alsace-Lorraine. Their feudal estate was located on the Rhine River."--Page 138. Descendants and relatives lived Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, California, Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Nebraska, Montana, Arizona and elsewhere.
Charles Woolverton was in Burlington County, New Jersey, by 1693, and appears in records there and in Hunterdon County until 1727. David Macdonald and Nancy McAdams have traced Charles' descendants to the seventh generation, by which time they had spread out to many parts of the country ... This is a beautifully crafted genealogy. The format is easy to follow, and the documentation is impressive. The compilers have carefully explained their handling of problem areas, including the need to refute longstanding family lore about the immigrant ... This is an exemplary work, which descendants will certainly value and other genealogists would be well advised to study. -- Excerpts from a review published in the April 2003 issue of The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record and reprinted with permission of the author, Harry Macy, Jr. and The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society.
