Florida had the smallest population of any state in the Confederacy in 1861 and stood at the far edge of conflict. Yet Floridians were at the center of most of the war’s major battles. Because of this, letters sent home from the battlefronts cover a broad spectrum of events and opinions. Regiments from Florida served with the Army of Northern Virginia from shortly after the Battle of Bull Run through Gettysburg and Appomattox. Other Florida regiments were dispatched westward to serve with the Army of Tennessee, fighting at Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Chattanooga, Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge in 1862 and 1863, and then challenging the Union drive for Atlanta in 1864.

Casermo (Cosmo) O. Bailey Letters (Confederate Soldier, Company D, 7th Florida Infantry)
Casermo O. Bailey was born in 1842 to the prominent Bailey family of Gainesville. Cosmo, as he was most commonly called, was the eldest son of James B. Bailey and Mary E. Bailey. In 1863, at the age of 20, Cosmo enlisted in the Alachua Rebels, Company D, Seventh Florida Infantry Regiment to fight for the Confederacy. Following its deployment to east Tennessee, the Seventh Regiment assisted Edmund Kirby Smith’s 1862 invasion of Kentucky. After losing fifteen men at Chickamauga in September 1863 and fighting skirmishes at Chattanooga in November, the regiment was consolidated under the Florida Brigade. It was engaged in most of the major battles of the Atlanta Campaign. Distinguished for their bravery, the surviving troops fought on until the Confederacy’s surrender in North Carolina in 1865. About half of Bailey’s letters date to the end of the war when he was writing from a camp outside Petersburg, Virginia. Other locations are Camp Beauregard, Chattanooga, and Knoxville, Tennessee, Charleston, South Carolina, and Folley Island. Text by Gene Goldmintz and James Cusick.

Calvin and Clarissa Bellamy Letters (Confederate Soldier, Company D, Fifth Florida Infantry, and Fammily)
Little is known of this branch of the Bellamy family, although they would seem to be connected at some distance to the pioneer families of John and Abram Bellamy, responsible for the Bellamy Road that connected the Atlantic coast settlements to Tallahassee. Most of the letters in this collection are from Calvin Bellamy, in Company D, Fifth Florida Infantry Regiment, stationed with the Army of Virginia. Bellamy was ill and convalescing during most of this time. At one point, he and his two brothers Richard and Marsden were all recovering from sickness in General Hospital No. 1 in Richmond. Both Marsden and Calvin eventually died there. The letters attest more to the hardships and poverty facing many Florida recruits than to action on the battlefield.

Valentine Chamberlain Letters (Union Officer, Seventh Connecticut Volunteers)
Captain Valentine Chamberlain, of New Britain, Conn., served in Florida with the Seventh Connecticut Volunteers as part of the Union force that cleared the Confederate batteries on the St. Johns River in October 1862. This group of letters is principally of note because of Chamberlain’s description of the action on the St. Johns River and his account of his visit to St. Augustine. Chamberlain returned to New Britain after the war. See also “A Letter of Captain V. Chamberlain 7th Connecticut Volunteers,” The Florida Historical Quarterly 15:2 (Oct. 1936):85-95 and “’Southern Rights’ and Yankee Humor: A Confederate-Federal Jacksonville Newspaper,” The Florida Historical Quarterly, 34:1 (July 1955):30-35.

Ossian and Catherine Hart (Unionists, future Governor and First Lady of Florida)
Ossian Bingley Hart (1821-1874) was the son of a colonial Florida family who emigrated from Virginia in 1801. Ossian was educated in Washington and returned to Jacksonville to study law. In 1843 Ossian married Catherine Campbell of Newark, New Jersey. The couple resided in various places in Florida, including Jacksonville, Fort Pierce, Key West, and Tampa. Ossian is best known in Florida history for opposing secession during the Civil War and for serving as a justice for the Florida Supreme Court (1868-1873). In 1873 he became the first Republican governor of Florida and served until his death one year later. During the Civil War, Catherine wrote frequently to her relatives in the North, giving them an account of circumstances in Florida. The Hart letters provide a fascinating look at the experiences of Union sympathizers in Florida during the war years. Several letters from before the war also provide information on the Hart’s fortunes as pioneers in Key West.

Stephen R. Mallory and Angela Moreno Mallory Letters (Confederate Secretary of the Navy and Wife)
Stephen Russell Mallory (1813-1873) was born in Trinidad and grew up in Florida. Upon the founding of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis selected Mallory for Secretary of the Navy because of his past experience in updating the U.S. Navy. Mallory’s letters to his wife, Angela Moreno Mallory, recount battles, troop movements and everyday life during the Civil War. In particular he wrote a long detailed letter from the battlefield during the Seven Day’s Battles. In other letters, Mallory defended his decision to invest in ironclads and described the flight and arrest of Confederate leaders and his own imprisonment. A letter from Angela Mallory to President Andrew Johnson dated November 1865 begs for clemency for her husband due to his ill health.

David Elwell Maxwell (Confederate Officer, Second Florida Infantry)
David Elwell Maxwell (1843-1908) was a native of Tallahassee and enlisted in the Second Florida Infantry Regiment in 1861. In 1863 he joined the First Florida Cavalry as a captain. This collection contains family correspondence written to Maxwell’s mother and father between 1862 and 1864. Maxwell discusses the battles at Yorktown and Williamsburg, Va., and the aftermath of Gettysburg. The last war-time letter in the collection describes engagements near Dalton, Ga., and was written some months before he was wounded in the Battle of Atlanta. Post-war letters contain some reminiscences. After the war Maxwell worked as an agent for various railroad concerns in Florida. For more biographical information see Cooper, John C., “In Memoriam: David Elwell Maxwell,” Publications of the Florida Historical Society 1:4 (January 1909):3-5 and Wright, Gilbert, “Letters to his Parents by a Floridian in the Confederate Army,” The Florida Historical Quarterly 34:4 (April 1958):353-372.

Jacob and Sallie Mickler Letters (Confederate Soldier and Family)
Jacob E. Mickler (1834-1864) was born in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1834, and married Sallie A. Latimer. He was a scout for the United States Army in South Florida, and he helped to capture Seminole Indians during the Third Seminole War. During the Civil War he served as a first lieutenant and captain in Company F of the Third Florida Infantry Regiment but resigned his commission in 1862. He then served in the militia and was most active in efforts to thwart the Union blockade of Florida. He was killed in a hunting accident in 1864. This collection of 30 letters between husband and wife deal mostly with the Florida home front, especially Confederate efforts to contain Union forces at Jacksonville after the Battle of Olustee in 1864. An 1866 letter by Sallie Latimer is probably to her second husband, John Fletcher White.

Charles Steedman (Union Naval Officer)
Charles Steedman (1811-1890) rose up the ranks of the U.S. Navy, serving in the Coast Survey in the 1840s and participating in the bombardment of Vera Cruz during the Mexican-American War. As a commander during the Civil War, he led forces during the capture of Port Royal, South Carolina, in 1861 and also enforced the blockade against Georgia and Florida. On September 17, 1862 he directed a gun boat attack against Confederate batteries on the St. Johns River as the Navy attempted to secure the route to Jacksonville. This bombardment, although unsuccessful, was followed up with a joint land and water assault in October that captured the batteries. Steedman’s letters in this collection describe naval support for the occupation of Jacksonville and the Navy’s blockade duty along Florida’s coasts. See also T. Frederick Davis, “Engagements at St. Johns Bluff St. Johns River, Florida September-October, 1862,” The Florida Historical Quarterly 15:2 (October 1936):77-84.
