Gilbert Claflin
In 2002, Judy Cook discovered a packet of letters written by her great-great-grandparents, Gilbert and Esther Claflin, during the American Civil War. An unexpected bounty, these letters from 1862–63 offer visceral witness to the war, recounting the trials of a family separated. Judy Cook has made the letters accessible to a wider audience by providing historical context with notes and appendices.
