Title

Roswell Farnham to [C. H.] Harding

Creator

Farnham, Roswell, 1827-1903.

Date Created

1861-06-15

Description

Topics include a recount of the battle at Great Bethel. Farnham remains critical of press coverage, estimating 90% is inaccurate. Some criticism of Mass. Gen. Pierce (destined to be court-martialed). First taste of battle now having an affect on Farnham and other Vermonters, no doubt.
