[Description and date of item], [Box/folder number], David Hunter Strother Letters regarding the Battles of Culpeper Court House and Cedar Mountain, A&M 4227, West Virginia and Regional History Center, West Virginia University Libraries, Morgantown, West Virginia.
Two letters authored by David Hunter Strother (1816-1888), a nineteenth century American illustrator and writer for Harpers Magazine whose pseudonym, "Porte Crayon," was a household word. The letters date from 22 February and 29 June 1867; the recipient is an unnamed Union general. Their content concerns the Battle of Culpepper and the Battle of Cedar Mountain, of which Strother provides a partial eyewitness account. His account of the battle of Cedar Mountain appeared in Harpers as part of a series of articles he contributed to that magazine during the years 1866-1868 entitled "Personal Recollections of the War, by a Virginian."
