A collection of photos and letters has been made available to Salem by Barry A. Cruikshank the grandson of Everett Cornell Cruikshank who was born in Salem in 1871 and was the son of Robert Cruikshank, the writer of the letters. The narrative is in the words of Barry Cruikshank.
I've broken the letters down into four sections by year,
1862,1863,1864 and 1865 to make them easier to read.
