Holechek\u2019s article focuses on Corporal John Cantilion\u2019s experiences in central Pennsylvania during the summer of 1863. Cantilion served in the 4th United States Cavalry and was stationed at Carlisle Barracks in early June 1863. This essay includes transcripts of letters that Cantilion wrote from Carlisle Barracks on June 19 and from Fort Couch on June 23. Holechek also provides the transcript of a letter that Cantilion\u2019s wife, Sarah, wrote in early November 1863. However, Cantilion died on November 12, 1863 and never received that letter. In addition, photographs of John and Sarah Cantilion are reproduced in this essay.<\/p>\n<p><em>These articles have been posted online with permission from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.historicalsociety.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cumberland County Historical Society<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSouthern Sentiments: A Look at Attitudes of Civil War Soldiers\u201d (1990) Patricia Coolmeyer\u2019s essay explores the different ways that soldiers and residents of southern Pennsylvania saw the South during the Civil War.
