 I find this letter particularly poignant... especially after a particular Lost Causer insisted Minnesota didn't have any arty in the ACW and insinuated Minnesota didn't contribute much in his ongoing effort to rewrite history.

Minneosta offered the first Regiment to Service to President Lincoln and units like the 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th MN VI not to mention Cav & LT Arty units were heavily engaged throughout the war.

 

The original letter resides in the MN State Historical Society
