This collection consists primarily of letters written by Samuel L. Roe and C.W.G. Roe while the brothers were serving in Company H, 15th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, during the United States Civil War. The letters describe troop movements; weather conditions; rations; the lack of adequate shoes, clothing, and pay; and other details regarding living and battle conditions during the war. Of particular interest are comments in the letters about taking "Yankee" prisoners, religious meetings in camp, and nighttime exchanges of newspapers, tobacco, and other items between Union and Confederate troops. Also included are military records such as an 1865 oath of allegiance; land records including an 1841 petition for Lavina Roe's widow's dower; receipts and envelopes; and a prescription and handwritten recipes for homemade remedies to cure "rheumatism," "consumtion" (sic), and "liver complaints."
