Harvard Memorial Biographies is a book written by Thomas Wentworth Higginson that contains biographical sketches of Harvard University graduates who died during the American Civil War. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume covering graduates who died in battle or from wounds sustained in battle, and the second volume covering graduates who died from disease or other causes during the war. Each biographical sketch provides a detailed account of the individual's life, including their family background, education, and military service. Higginson also includes letters and other personal writings from the individuals, as well as anecdotes from family and friends. The book was originally published in 1866, just a year after the end of the Civil War, and was intended as a tribute to the Harvard graduates who gave their lives for their country. The book is considered an important historical document, as it provides a firsthand account of the experiences of soldiers during the Civil War, as well as insights into the lives of Harvard students during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
