Gilmer County Genealogical Society, Inc. January Meeting: “Letters From a Confederate Soldier 1862-1864

The January meeting of GCGSI will be held on January 15, 2022 in the Gilmer County Library lower level meeting room at 2:00 p.m. Members will vote to amend bylaws and Wayne Hooper will return with a slide presentation “Letters from a Confederate Soldier 1862-1864.” Several of the 65 letters written during the Civil War that were donated from Private James Tucker's family to the Gilmer County Historical Society for their preservation will be shown and explained. These original letters written by Private Tucker to his wife and family provide his point of view of some of the major battles in the Southeast while minimizing the danger he faced. The public is invited, and social distancing and the wearing of masks is encouraged.
