Catlett Conway wrote the letters in this volume between 1892 and 1920 to his half-brother, William Buchanan Conway. The brothers enjoyed their childhood on a plantation, Ellerslie, built by their father, Battaile Fitzhugh Taliaferro Conway, in Madison County, Virginia. By 1892 Catlett was living in Richmond, Virginia, and he later moved to Philadelphia, where he lived with his daughter and her family. Dr. W. B. Conway began his married life in Blacksburg, Virginia, and moved eventually to Athens, Georgia. The letters paint a picture of the brothers' lives and reveal many of Catlett's memories and opinions of the Civil War. He recalls a number of specific battles. Both Catlett and William Buchanan were CSA veterans, and Catlett's military record is included in this volume.
