Benedict Civil War Story
I will be posting weekly installments on the Firelands History Website (http://firelands.wordpress.com) of Little Doctor on the Black Horse, a story written in 1961 by my grandmother, Harriott Benedict Wickham Barton about the experiences of her grandfather, David DeForest Benedict, a Union surgeon in the Civil War. David wrote many letters to his wife during that conflict and over 60 survive today. Harriott Barton used these letters as the basis for her story and included many of them. Please visit the Firelands History Website to read this interesting story.
